Comment 8 for bug 1082728

Hmmm...

Dear Philip,

So it actually is a bug in Ubuntu Thunderbird -- Thunderbird has problems
running zimbra email.

Also, the messages almost definitely have to do with the lag that i am
seeing -- they occur at exactly the same time.

Only one thing wrong with that: Thunderbird on my wife's Windows computer
has no trouble with exactly the same zimbra mail account.
So, if the bug is in Thunderbird, then it's only in Ubuntu Thunderbird.

Nikki thought that it was a bug in Ubuntu's Glib. She directed me to
emails indicating a similar problem with Firefox and Ubuntu glib -- but
that's been fixed.
