Bug#402886: icedove has become highly unstable - 2 to 3 hangs per day
Hi, thanks for the quick answer. First, I'd like to apologize but after 2 or 3 hangs, I got mad and already saw icedove going in this state into stable, and I possibly overreacted a bit (I'd like to stay at etch once stabilized). Anyway, because I can't reproduce the problem on demand, I've done the following: - compress the folders of high throughput (inbox, sent, etc...). I have 350 folders (and 5GB) of emails, so doing all those by hand would be a nightmare. - remove all msf files - remove panacea.dat - do a search in order to rebuild all summaries If I still get the problem, I'll let you know before end of the week. If I don't come back to you till Monday, you can assume that I'm fine. I hope it's a fair proposal. One more thing I remembered having forgotten to tell while doing all this :-[ : my Mail folder is on a separate FAT32 partition, in order to be able to share my folders with Windows (dual-boot). I know, it's not really supported, but till now it worked good (and it's not yet proven that it's the reason for the issue :-) ). So or so, you'll get more from me before end of the week.

Bug#402886: icedove has become highly unstable - 2 to 3 hangs per day
Package: icedove
Version: 1.5.0.8.dfsg1-1
Severity: grave
Hi,
since upgrade to the dfsg version, I already had to kill and restart
icedove already ~5 times since yesterday.
Phenomens are very different but it always ends with a hang :-/
I already had a few times icedove stopping to show the content of the
emails: I was switching from one folder to the next, and from one
message to the next, but icedove showed always the same email content.
Today, I had icedove hanging while trying to send an email, and I could
capture part of the strace story; I noticed that icedove complained
about files already existing though it created them itself. I then tried to
remove the temporary files while icedove was running. It went a bit
further but continued to hang, at which point I killed it.
I set the severity to grave because it's currently not feasible to work
properly with icedove, and I don't think it should go to stable like it
is.
Thanks, Eric
