User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130329030832 Steps to reproduce: My problem is that TB 17.0.5 does not work offline. I found this problem last week, during a conference abroad. I could not check past emails while I was offline. Actual results: Without internet connection TB 17.0.5 hangs at start up, and the whole operating system is very irresponsive because TB eats a lot of CPU. The only way to stop it is crashing the program (with $ xkill for example). I think I solved the problem, after trying a few things, by disabling the Google Calendar provider add-on. Expected results: I think I solved the problem, after trying a few things, by disabling the add-on "Provider of Google Calendar". I reckon there is a problem with this add-on or its compatibility with TB 17.0.5 .

> Without internet connection TB 17.0.5 hangs at start up I've recently encountered someone who saw this aspect. Does it reproduce for you when using newer version of Tbird beta, with appropriately versioned addons? see http://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/channel/

...and do you have caching enabled for your Google calendar? How many calendars (Google and total) do you have, and what type (local, etc.)?

I confirm same situaton, and it's easily replicated. Just set some non-existing proxy in Thunderbird settings, and restart. Thunderbird will hang for a minute before showing main window, if there is at least one Google Calendar.
Sorry for not responding earlier. It has been a bit more than 1 year since I submitted this question and during this time Thunderbird has moved from version 17 to version 31 !!?? With this chaotic avalanche of versions the present discussion and any other is useless because it becomes obsolete very soon. In other words, if you have a problem with TB, your best bet is to suffer and wait for a new version which might solve it. If you do not want to wait, you can minimize to dependen on Mozilla, as I did. Or better, as I tried to do, because I deleted my account in Bugzilla but they apparently are keeping it open for me! Mozilla, welcome to that set of mafia organizations who do not respect the users' decisions!

MALVA, > the present discussion and any other is useless because it becomes obsolete very soon nope it doesn't. Version number change does not mean it's complete rewrite. Only versioning scheme changed, and versions started flipping faster, but current Thunderbird development is even slower than before. Practically, it stalled. To see why, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mozilla_Thunderbird#Future_development (just last sentence) > if you have a problem with TB, your best bet is to suffer and wait for a new version which might solve it that always was an option, but not best, but selected by most. Yet not all. > I deleted my account in Bugzilla Bugzilla stores email addresses in bugs, maybe that's the problem. Also, I've not found any way to self-remove. Maybe I just not sought well? Instead, Disable all email, rename your account to something useless, and you're forgotten. To make it sure, change your email address to something non-existing.
