217460 - Thunderbird hangs downloading messages and processing junk mail

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Bill Gianopoulos [:WG9s]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030826 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2a (20030820)

After going from the 8/13 to the 8/20 nightly I have had several instances where
Thunderbird will hang when I start it the first time of the day and there are
large numbers of inbound e-mails. I have 2 IMAP accounts on different servers
and they are both have Junk mail detection enabled and are set to move messages
to a different IMAP folder if it is junk.  One of the accounts also has serveral
filters defined to label the incoming e-mails differently.  What occured with
the 8/20 nightly is that very often when both accounts had many unread messages
at some point when I first conected the throber would indicate activity, there
would be no network activity and I would be unable to open messages.  This did
not seem to occur with the 8/13 nightly and did not occur the first time I tried
with the 8/26 nightly, but I was forced to stop running that due to crashes
during spell checking so I really don;t know if 8.26 really fixed the problem.

This problem does not appear to occur since upgrading to Mozilla Thunderbird
0.2a (20030826).  If it does not happen agian in the next couple of days, I am
going to close this as fixed.

Not sure what fixed it, but this problem only occured on the 20030820 build. 
Earlier builds did not exhibit this problem and subsequent builds do not either.
