17.0.5 (64bit), ~50.000 POP emails, this bug is annoying. I use this addon to get rid of the havoc: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/remove-duplicate-messages-alte/ But junk mail, manually removed before, can remain.
With the DiskSpaceAvailableInStore(file, spaceRequested) function proposed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=735319&action=diff the proposed criterion could be implemented. I think writing the new content of popstate.dat to a temporary file and then moving it over would be saner, because then you can never enter a corrupt state. This bug may be more closely related to Bug 263142 than Bug 789679 (new dep?), and pehaps can be resolved together. -- 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/261595 Title: Thunderbird corrupts Mailbox when hd is full Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: In Progress Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird I fetched the POP3 EMails and the last Message got cut in the middle. Other than in Bug #23302 there was NO warning about little space. Then I got a warning after the error the little space and freed some space up. Now it fetched all allready fetched mails again and added some junk from another email into the unfinished email. In the end this is not so severe, but the check for little space should kick in before and it should not get to corruption of email data. Seen in ubuntu 8.04.1 with thunderbird 2.0.0.16.
