Not a fix, just a suggestion for the future: Back up daily.
Well, I do weekly backups on Saturday... this was to be the last email
sent prior to weekly mailbox compaction, then backup.
Forgot another suggestion. I compact more often than I empty trash. For
each and every empty trash (normally 20-30 minutes after midnight) I
immediately follow with compact. If I find some fool has emailed me
binaries, after deleting attached binaries I compact the folder they
showed up in before deleting the offending email.
Felix, it is my understanding that you are wasting your time compacting
your profile if you haven't, first, deleted the rubbish you want to get
rid of.
Deleting an e-mail really just marks the e-mail for deletion, it is not
actually removed from your inbox file until it is marked for deletion
and then the file is compacted. If an e-mail is not first marked for
deletion, after the compaction it will remain (hidden) in your inbox file.
I know of no way to gracefully exit Mozilla products via command line.
I leave SM up "all the time", though have to restart it periodically
due some blasted folder memory leak, disappearing child
folders. To mask that, I can open a new SM mail window instance and at
least the folders show up again. Sluggish folder open/close
performance requires a restart however.
I don't see any obvious signs of any Gecko leaking any significant
amount of memory. I keep 5 of them open spread across 8 virtual desktops
in the same DE 24/7, save for daily restarts and backups of the profile
used for email. Maybe your problem is confined to 64 bit, or maybe the
fault is in permissions or XFS or Ubuntu or its Pango or Gnome or
mushrooming disk space consumption by saving email with binaries
attached or ????
How can you say you have your DE up 24/7 when you then say you re-boot
daily?? Almost by definition, then, the most you have is up for 24 hours!
