I've been running Seamonkey mail client for a long time. Still prefer

I'm running the 64-bit Linux version under Arch Linux (User agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
SeaMonkey/2.49.4 Build identifier: 20181117165705). I have three
email accounts configured - a gmail account (my main email account),
an account with gmx.com and an account with an SME server which I use
to monitor a number of small business servers.
The gmail account is the busiest, since I subscribe to a number of
mailing lists and get a lot of email. I gave up trying to use Google
to sort mail and use Seamonkey filters to put the mail where I want
it. Has worked well for years. Until recently, anyway...
With what seems to be increasing frequency, Seamonkey mail seems to
be going brain-dead - it is still running, but filtering stops
working. The only way to fix it is to either restart or, sometimes
simply open the application from the task bar. Since I have one copy
of Seamonkey mail running constantly on a machine at home, which does
all the filtering, I'm not always in a position to do that. Other
than restarting that instance of Seamonkey every day, I'm at a loss
as to how to cure this.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Any suggestions as to how to fix
this would be welcome...

There was a somewhat similar problem in a thread starting 7 December,
look for "constipated email on occasion". I suppose the main
similarities were a long-running Seamonkey, Linux and multiple
accounts (mixed POP and IMAP).
Thanks for that. Certainly sound similar. Though in my case, all the
accounts are IMAP. I've also not seen any error messages when I check
the client that is failing. It is also a quite recent problem (never saw
it before 2.49.4). It also seems to be getting worse. Originally it was
happening after Seamonkey had been running for a week or more. Today it
happened, even though the machine had been restarted a bit over 24 hours
earlier.
For the moment, I've set Thunderbird up to see whether the problem
exists in the code that is common between the two packages. I guess I'll
see in 24 - 36 hours...
Paul.
