Can you reproduce problem with newest trunk nightly build?
> http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/
> Download win32.zip build. You can test by UNZIP only.

> Platform: x86_64

If problem due to 32bits Thunderbird is suspected, try 64bits version of Thunderbird. Official 64bits build is not available yet, but some builds can be tested if MS Windows.

Up to now I have not been able to recreate the bug using the nightly build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2pre) Gecko/20090721 Shredder/3.0b4pre

I will keep testing today and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the information about how to use the nightly - never used it before.

Thanks
Ben

If you reproduce can you try to see if TB as still open connections to your email server using the netstat command ?

[Ben Pintilie]

Ludovic - I will do, at the moment I can not get the nightly to fail.

Do you want me to do a netstat on the other version that was failing?

Only on the nightly. If that does fail , it means the issue as been solved. if not then we need to know :-) 

Can you comment on the bug say in a week if you don't encounter that again ?

Comment 6

[Chris Rodgers]

I have often encountered this. It happened again with TB 3 beta 3 on a Windows Vista x64 system.

Comment 7

[Ben Pintilie]

Just installed Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Thunderbird/3.0b3

Will keep testing this version to see if I can reproduce the bug.

Chris - are you on the same version as mentioned in this message?

Hello, I have also experienced this failure of Thunderbird to completely quit. I'm using Thunderbird version 2.0.0.22 (20090605) on 64-bit Vista Home Premium SP2 to access my IMAP account. The only add-on I've installed is Lightning.

When I exit Thunderbird, either by "File > Exit" or with the red X button in the top right of the window, the UI disappears completely as if Thunderbird has quit, but "thunderbird.exe *32" is still in my Task Manager's Processes list. There is no icon in the system tray, unless I get a new incoming email message. In that case, an icon appears in the tray with a notification popping up that describes the new message(s).

I have not experienced the "already running" error described above; for me, double-clicking on my Mozilla Thunderbird desktop shortcut appears to launch (or relaunch) Thunderbird normally. The IMAP connection appears to have survived, though; I am not asked to re-enter my password (and I don't have a stored password).

As far as I can tell, there are not multiple instances running concurrently; looking at my process list, I've only ever seen one instance of thunderbird.exe listed at any one time.

All, it is useful to report the following aspects of your situation:
- is cpu high, low (non-zero) or zero?
- what does netstat show for imap and ldap connections?
- is Thunderbird's windows search (indexing) component enabled? 
  mail.winsearch.enable true or false?
- is gloda indexing enabled?  (it is not by default)
  mailnews.database.global.indexer.enabled true or false?
- is lightning calendar extension installed?

Hey all, I can confirm the following.

Since installing Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Thunderbird/3.0b3

There have been NO repeats of the above bug.  I can also confirm that using version Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Thunderbird/3.0b3 under "Windows 7 Ultimate" the bug is not in here.

I have tried the b2 under windows 7 Ultimate and managed to reproduce the same problem.  This leads me to say that the fault is now fixed with the new relase.

Please can anyone else confirm this?

Thanks
Ben

The CPU usage of thunderbird.exe is zero.

Here's the output of "netstat -b" at the moment:

I don't see that preference at all in Thunderbird's about:config.

> - is gloda indexing enabled?  (it is not by default)
>   mailnews.database.global.indexer.enabled true or false?
I don't see that preference either.

> - is lightning calendar extension installed?
Yes.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_with_WinDbg

use 'thunderbird' instead of 'firefox'

when you quit, attach windbg to thunderbird.exe and use:

~* kp

attach the output.

I've never used WinDbg before; I hope I did it right. I put up the log at:
