I'm not comfortable with this approach; the message size we get (which is actually the size of one text part of the message, accidentally set when downloading parts of a MIME multipart message separately) is not guaranteed to be larger or smaller than the number of line breaks in the entire message. It usually is, for very large messages, but this won't be reliable.
I'm pretty close to having a clean way to not record the wrong size when we're downloading a part. I'm not sure how it will work for users with and existing wrong size in their message DB, they may need to manually rebuild the folder. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068921 Title: Mailbox grows endlessly, heavy traffic Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: In Progress Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Lucid: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Natty: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Quantal: Triaged Bug description: 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.
