I am on f40 and regularly keeping up with updates. $ uname -a Linux e7.eyal.emu.id.au 6.12.11-100.fc40.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jan 23 22:07:15 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux TB is 128.6.0esr (64-bit)
Short story: TB stays active with high %CPU in "top".
I start TB. Fetch mail (POP3). So far so good. After a few times I do "Compact Folders". The messages go though a few folders and then say it is done. However, the blue line at the bottom right stays solid blue and "top" shows about 60-70% CPU. This is with the focus and the mouse are NOT on TB.
I later collect mail and that line goes wavy and stays so after mail is collected. Usually forever. I once left it overnight...
The only solution is to restart TB. Not nice.
How do I find what TB is actually doing?
BTW:
- I removed all the .msf files, which were then recreated when I did a
global search.
- I vacuumed the sql databases for this profile.
Not what you asked, but when does that stop me!!!! <Maniacal Laughter>
I switched to Betterbird and all my problesm vanished. https://betterbird.eu
It uses your Thunderbird profile, so nothing to alter. Start Betterbird with "-P" switch to pick up the correct profile from Thunderbird.
