Thunderbird is very very slow starting

[Professor W P Jones]

On startup Thunderbird is very very slow; it takes around 20 minutes to load the calendar. The problem is restricted to my Redhat Linux system as I have no such problems with Microsoft Windows on my laptop, connected to the same network. After it has loaded all seems to be OK.

This is a query for all calendar items, but without date restriction. That means it pulls out all calendar items ever. This leads to high load on the XML parser of mozilla.

Do you have some settings that differ between windows and linux?

Hi

Thanks for the quick response. As far as I am aware the settings for windows and linux are the same. How do I add date restrictions?

Thanks
Bill

No idea why some part of lightning is not setting any date restriction. I'll have to check with the lightning developers.

Does this still happen with recent versions of Lightning?
