Bug description:
Environment: Thunderbird 124.0 64bits installed as SNAP on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
3 gmail imap account
This (monday) morning Ubuntu notify me that I was running out of disk
space, and while I was checking where the problem was, the disk
analyzer told me the answer
snap/thunderbird/common directory has a size of more than 360GB, pretty
strange since my gmail account have 15GB and 30GB of quota (half used more or
less)
One of them is a shared one we use for notfication with almost 100k emails,
flow is very high since with my team we receive emails, handle and archive them.
I tryed to compact database, keep on disk only latest 90 days email
but the sistem started to suffer issues due to no disk space so that I
tried to remove that account and instantly more than 250GB of data on
disk disappeared.
Issue found and fixed but:
- Thunderbird should NOT use so much disk space, some cleanup process MUST be
implemented to keep disk usage under control, as I wrote system usage is
impaired
- Is this issue index-related? Since I do a lot of quick search on that
account
- Is something snap/linux related? Could be found also on Windows/Mac?
- If someone needs logs, I'd be happy to provide them but I need instructions
about how to retrieve them.
