It would also help us a lot if you could run from the command line with IMAP and related logging turned on; set the environment variable
NSPR_LOG_MODULES=imap:5,ImapAutoSync:5,msgdb:5,timestamp,sync before starting Thunderbird, and capture all the output to the console (stdout/stderr for you Linux types). This will include headers and contents of email messages, so if you don't want to publicly post it on Bugzilla you can either send it directly to me or get in touch on irc.mozilla.org #maildev and we'll work together to extract the relevant info. -- 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/1074260 Title: Thunderbird heavy IMAP traffic downloading messages Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Thunderbird (as of version 16?) generates a lot of IMAP traffic, continually redownloading messages.
