1841597 - Cleaning inbox on exit hangs app shutdown

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1788599

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris GAUDRY [:cmgaudry33]]

I'm migrating from Thunderbird 102 to 115 in my organization.
I always clean the profile with the same data each time I launch the application (so that I can reproduce any problem).

Everything is fine with Thunderbird 115 except the app shuts down.
Thunderbird 115.0b6 takes up to 90 seconds to completely shut down (time between requesting shutdown and process disappearance).

I tried with Thunderbird 111.Ob4 and 112.0b7, there is the same problem.

I've spent a few hours finding that disabling the "mail.server.server1.cleanup_inbox_on_exit" preference fixes the problem.

I did a profiling. You will see that cleaning the inbox takes 8 seconds, but you should know that enabling the profiler makes the shutdown faster and we can think there is no problem. When you disable profiling, the 90 seconds are back.

I thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Chris

PS: I can tell you that Thunderbird's performance and stability really seem to be going in the right direction. Good job to the whole team.

Here is my test inbox. It is not too big to justify a slow cleanup process.

might be a duplicate of bug #1788599. Does "going offline" also make thunderbird immediately exit for you ?

fwiw, i'm seeing the same symptoms with 115.0.1 on OpenBSD (eg super slow exit), and both (separately) going offline and resetting mail.server.server1.cleanup_inbox_on_exit to its default of false make thunderbird exit straight away.

Very likely. afaict The slowness is not tied to folder size.
