Thank you for the report.

Please provide more information about your environment: include Thunderbird version, how many emails you may have in the inbox or other folders, is it configured IMAP or POP, etc.

version 2.0.0.19 (20081209)
Uses IMAP over SSL
has about 3.8 GB of mail on the server
locally about 2 GB is stored (due to some folders marked for offline use)
about 500 mails in inbox

Hope this helps.

Hi:

I have a similar problem; I am running Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 on Ubuntu 9.04. I am only using Thunderbird as a RSS reader and it goes from about 30MB at startup to 1.1GB in 24 hours.

Thanks

Hello Ace,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2009 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 411878

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

I am still using thunderbird but don't know if the problem still exists.

Take care
