Public bug reported:
Yesterday I noticed that my Internet connection keeps transferring a lot of
data. After a while I checked with nethogs and discovered this was caused by
Thunderbird.
Today I got a warning that my HDD was near full.
In this 2 days, the mailbox had grown to 20 GB, while in reality it should be
around 1 GB (a fresh zipped backup has 600 MB).
I removed the .thunderbird folder and configured my IMAP mailbox from scratch.
The same happened again.
I think this is not related to a somehow special configuration of my PC bcs my
colleague discovered it's the same on his machine. Without checking, he
wouldn't have noticed yet bcs of a much bigger HDD...
We couldn't yet find out what exactly happens / which data is transferred again
and again.
I suspect it's related to the last thunderbird update.
