1562300 - error when importing large amount of eml files

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

Attachment: thunderbird bug 2.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

I wanted to import a lot (244) of old emails, saved as eml files into Thunderbird. I created a new folder to copy all those files to. When I copy I get a message saying "script stopped working". I attached a screenshot of this message (in Dutch..)

Actual results:

Quite a few of my emails are imported (88), but not all of them. When retrying I get the same message, and a few more emails get imported (156)

Expected results:

The emails should be imported without a problem.

I tried this with a different folder, same result. One folder of emails is 313 MB, the other one 243 MB.

Script time outs for large copies either into or out of the file system to Thunderbird are not uncommon. I am also used to seeing them in the import export tools addon. At least the old version of it pre V68.

Clicking continue completes the task. Is the user interface responding that a script has timed out because the execution is slow as Bug. I really don't know. But I would think it was functioning as intended.
