Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Roman Palacios]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Three problems.......
1st one.    This issue has not been a problem for the first few months of using
Thunderbird.  Now whenever I try to recieve messages from the second identity,
the computer cannot do anything due to 100% drain on cpu.  It take a lonnnnngg
time before headers are fetched.

2nd problem.  Thunderbird reports random numbers of "new" messages IE:  (234) or
(13) when there may be only 2 or 3 messages to fetch.

3rd problem.  Mail can only be sent from one identity although both identities
use the same info for "outgoing server"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start Thunderbird...click "get mail"
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
T Bird starts sucking CPU dry.  Computer reacts slowly to any other commands
until all messages have loaded in header frame.
Also displays incorrect number of actual messages on server.

Expected Results:  
Loaded message headers smoothly

I have tried compacting folders.  No help.  Strange that the problems just
started though.  No new software has been added to this machine.  Machine has a
clean install and was working fine including Tbird.  Virus scans detect nothing
unusual.

have you tried disabling your virus checker? It might actually be the cause of
all these problems, and they can update themselves.
