Bug#933378: bug report should go upstream
I purged Thunderbird from my system, moved my .thunderbird folder aside, installed Thunderbird, started Thunderbird, set up my e-mail account, shut down Thunderbird, renamed my profile folder and adjusted profiles.ini, and copied the address books and e-mail files and folders from my old profile to my new profile. I have configured Thunderbird not to synchronize messages from the server to this computer. I have created an Inbox subfolder on Local Folders, and created a message filter to copy incoming messages from the server Inbox to the local Inbox. So, between a fresh install, a fresh profile, and changing my workflow to avoid moving messages from IMAP folders to local folders, hopefully Thunderbird will behave. But, given that I sometimes see the toilet bowl mouse icon in Thunar, I can only wonder if the problem might be Xfce or something deeper... We'll see what happens. Thanks for the help. :-) David

Thunderbird is still misbehaving, Same for Thunar. You've created a new profile too? The most problems that get reported are in the end grounded on misbehaving of the local profile. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert

Hello David, Am 04.04.20 um 22:43 schrieb David Christensen: > I shutdown and restarted Thunderbird. The message with the pending move > is now gone. you mentioned in a previous email that you are using Btrfs as file-system. So far I could research more people using Btrfs for their /home partition have some issues regarding Thunderbird. Also some network file-systems showing very often problems if used as underlying file-system for the data for the Thunderbird profile. The Btrfs file-system is still quite young and I'm sure we will see more crazy issue if it will get used more regularly. I haven't used this file-system and I don't have plans to do so. I simply have no need for the features Btrfs is bringing. Your issues aren't Debian specific, I'm quite sure on this. The way to go is to report your issues upstream within the Mozilla bug tracker or at least search for similar issues with Thunderbird or also Firefox. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home But don't expect a quick solution, the amount of Thunderbird developers is small and Btrfs isn't a high critical part of the development. You can ask what you can do to get some log of what's going on behind the scene in Thunderbird in the low level part while moving messages e.g. If you have a bug number from Bugzilla we can set a tracker to this and this Debian bug report will get information once the status of the Bugzilla issue get changes. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert
