The server appears to be running dovecot: openssl s_client -connect myhostxxxx.webpack.hosteurope.de:993 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. It was also reporting individual mails with larger (2-5MB) attachments as only having a few (20-30) kb, so my guess is something to do with attachments. Running a repair on the folders fixed it (see below) I am using this account from a server and a laptop. This may have started when I set up the subfolders (on the laptop as I was traveling) and moved mails into those subfolders. There are two thunderbirds accessing the account at the same time, the server and the laptop (both kubuntu with 16.0.1). The size explosion is happening on the server, and not on the laptop. I ran out of disk space on /home twice before I saw what the cause was... seems to be as described in bug #463359 I also saw the symptoms as mentioned in bug #802217 with those two folder being continually refreshed (Downloading message x/x in folder1).

Compacting the mailbox is a temporary fix, but it starts growing again immediately. My INBOX is ~80MB when compacted. Grew to 20GB over a few hours.

Inbox reports 6MB with 43 messages... only 4-5 above 500kb (so the summed size in the folder display is consistent with the individual mail sizes _reported_ in the message list). On disk the Inbox has 230MB. And individual mails that have attachments report their size (correctly) in the attachment list at the bottom as 3-4 MB, but are listed as 30kb in the message list. I have a feeling that this might have something to do with the mail having a graphic in the signature, and separate attachments, but I'm not sure. Those mails are coming from Outlook. I'm fairly sure that this didn't happen with TB15, but not 100% sure.

After a while I checked with nethogs and discovered this was caused by Thunderbird. Today I got a warning that my HDD was near full. In this 2 days, the mailbox had grown to 20 GB, while in reality it should be around 1 GB (a fresh zipped backup has 600 MB). I removed the .thunderbird folder and configured my IMAP mailbox from scratch. The same happened again. I think this is not related to a somehow special configuration of my PC bcs my colleague discovered it's the same on his machine. Without checking, he wouldn't have noticed yet bcs of a much bigger HDD... We couldn't yet find out what exactly happens / which data is transferred again and again. I suspect it's related to the last thunderbird update.
