273885 - Crashes on large Local Folders which you withdraw from older TB versions

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Franz Lind]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

Problem is on TB 0.9 and TB 1.0

After having kept the Thunderbird profile (in my case from TB 0.8) and
installing TB 0.9 or 1.0, TB crashes while trying to parse my local folder
(about 4000 mails). Other smaller folders work!

Maybe it is related to the new feature ("display attachment-status also on
unread mails").

You can manually solve the problem (tried in TB 1.0) by right-clicking on the
*problem-folder* (without trying to display it already!) and choose "compress
folder". This works and after compressing you can access this folder as usually.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. You have to have a large local folder (in my case about 4000 mails)
2. Deinstall TB 0.8 (my former version) and delete program folder totally
3. Install TB 0.9 or TB 1.0
4. Start TB and try to display this large folder

Actual Results:  
TB produces high CPU-load and crashes.

Expected Results:  
Display folder.
