565160 - Sending email fails after a while

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Gkok Mdam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100416 Mandriva Linux/1.9.2.3-0.2mdv2010.0 (2010.0) Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100422 Mandriva/3.0.4-0.4mdv2010.0 (2010.0) Thunderbird/3.0.4

Sending email fails after using Thunderbird for a while. I presume it's got to do with the number of IMAP account configured or the size of the profile. (24 account & 1 News & Blogs, yes, I know, it's a LOT...)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Take a profile with at lease 12G of data (24 account & 1 News & Blogs) 
2. Start Thunderbird
3. Leave it for a while (no need to use it heavily)
4. Compose an email
5. Try to send it

Actual Results:  
The email is not send, it hangs at either "Looking up host .xxxx" or "Sending message ...."
I can only cancel out of the action.

Expected Results:  
The email is send without trouble.

A work-around is to store/save the message in Local-Folders/Draft en restart Thunderbird. Then open the message again from the Local-Folders/Draft and send it. (this works all the time)

Store/save to the IMAP's account Draft folder also fails when the sending of email fails.

When Thunderbird is first starting and even when it is in the state of not being able to send email, the search (love it!) works nicely as all 12G of profile data has been nicely indexed. There is no apparent activity in the "Activity manager".

Can you install the debug package and try to figure out what's going wrong : see http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=108655 in french on how do do so (http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Howto/Software_Crash is in english and focused on crash - but having some stack trace would help understanding where the issue is).
