[Bug 927515] Re: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU
I have 2 IMAP accounts configured, and noticed that the CPU hogging / hanging is definitely related to the number of messages in a mailbox. I haven't found a lower bound that causes the issue, but mailboxes with e.g. 2 or more messages of cronspam were definitely part of the problem. Removing these messages and/or partitioning them e.g. chronologically may be a viable workaround. Testing with "insanely large" mailboxes should definitely be part of finding the problem ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927515 Title: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/927515/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, http://rainbow.chard.org/2013/02/19/thunderbird-high-cpu/ worked for me, dropping CPU usage to almost none. I noticed that the problem surfaces after extend time (several days) of being offline and re-syncing remote IMAP folders on multiple accounts in parallel. TB was at 100% CPU, causing the CPU fan to spin up to max, and unfortunately even on my TP x201 these fans are not built for running at max rpm all the time, so it died upon me and I had to replace the heatsink assembly ... this was of course an unlucky combination of this bug, dust in the heatsink, running at max RPM, and a kernel bug that messed up fan control, so TB alone was not the one killing my fan ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927515 Title: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/927515/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also experience a high CPU usage (generally around 70%, measured by top), with: - Thunderbir 17.0.7 - Ubuntu 13.04 32bit on a ThinkPad T60 with Intel T2400 @ 1.83GHz × 2 I have several e-mail accounts on TB (total of 5, being 3 imap gmail/yahoo and 2 private imap/pop). I don't know if this is related to this bug. BUT I've notice something very simple that sort of "solves" the issue for me, apparently having to do to what is selected in the lateral folder pane: 1. IF I leave the INBOX of any account selected (or actually any other FOLDER), even though activity manager could show no recent activity for, say, the last 10 minutes, I see a turning wheel on TB's e-mail tab and I notice TB takes about 70% of CPU (measured by top). See attached screenshot. 2. On the other hand, IF I select no INBOX/FOLDER but simply click on one account (lateral pane - see attached screenshot), TB CPU usage drops to <2%, coming up eventually to 20-30% of CPU for a few seconds, every 40 seconds or so, I believe when checking for new messages. I'm only a user with no technical knowledge, but IMHO, it seems that TB actually keeps constantly updating the messages/account if and INBOX/internal FOLDER is selected, even when no activity is registered by "activity manager".

[Bug 927515] Re: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU
For someone looking for a workaround, then the 100% CPU usage could apparently also be a result of TB reopening/reindexing databases too often. According to these links: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794401 http://rainbow.chard.org/2013/02/19/thunderbird-high-cpu/ it appears that "Technically ... [Thunderbird] check open DBs every minute, and if they have been open more than 3 seconds and there are no other references to them, they are closed. The '3 seconds' has now been changed to the original intent of 5 minutes." On my system, mail.db_idle.limit was set to 30, which might have been the intended value... But I've increased it to 3000 as others have suggested, which seems to help -- I have many really really large IMAP folders, so indexing is a slow process that can last minutes.

[Bug 927515] Re: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU
>From the comments above it looks like there could be several distinct causes of Thunderbird running at 100%. In my case, I have just upgraded to Raring and the situation has got worse. It now happens pretty much every time I try to minimise or close Thunderbird. Thunderbird will just sit there for hours running at 100%. For me it's worse than that because I use ibus to switch languages and it causes ibus to refresh itself continuously too (see bug #1162008), thus making the computer practically unusable. My key observations are that: - Now I have upgraded to Raring, this 100% cpu usage is (sometimes) happening when I minimise Nautilus or Firefox too. When this happens, compiz is also near the top of top. - I have tried using the default xorg graphics drivers and the proprietary nvidia ones, and the issue is the same. - My colleagues that have similar setups to me (same graphics card, 64bit, similar processors) don't have the same problem. However, I am the only one that has an encrypted home directory. So, to me this implies that the root cause is some incompatibility between an encrypted home and compiz/Unity, which Thunderbird also happens to be a victim of too. It may just be that Thunderbird tries to write more configuration/database stuff to the (encrypted) home directory when it is minimised than Nautilus or Firefox and so it's a lot more noticeable for Thunderbird than for the others. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927515 Title: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/927515/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Another is to click on the delete button instead of trying to move the scroll bar. Bottom line is that operations (not apparently all operations) that involve multiple selections can kick off some very intensive cpu activity that can go on for several minutes. It doesn't happen every time, but does seem to have something to do with the status of the folder in which the emails are being selected - so maybe something like re-indexing the whole folder, or compressing it on the fly, or something like that. However there is no apparent disk activity, it's pure cpu although the memory footprint does change up and down a bit. Hope this helps.

[Bug 927515] Re: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU
I am also experiencing this bug with TB 17.0 on Linux Mint Debian Edition with an XFCE 4.8 desktop. What I have found is that CPU usage tends towards 100% on one core when displaying the contents of a message in the Message Pane (use F8 to switch view). When the Message Pane is empty or not visible it does not happen. The behaviour happens both with IMAP and POP3 accounts and both with text and HTML messages. There is no evidence whatsoever that earlier suggested indexing or encryption mechanisms have anything to do with it. Workaround: Do not use the Message Pane. Use F8 to switch it off.

[Bug 927515] Re: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU
I can confirm this with thunderbird 17.0.2 on a 12.10 Kubuntu Version. The problem was resolved with deactivating the message synchronisation of an IMAP mail account. My other accounts using POP-Servers don't generate the high CPU usage. Removin messages-db.sqlite and global-messages-db.sqlite-journal files. before has not changed anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927515 Title: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/927515/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 927515] Re: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU
I didn't have the global-messages-db.sqlite-journal file; I did have global-messages-db.sqlite having ~400 MB. After removing global-messages-db.sqlite and starting Thunderbird, it created new global-messages-db.sqlite and global-messages-db.sqlite- journal files. Thunderbird CPU usage didn't go down; it's still constantly 50%-100% CPU usage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927515 Title: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/927515/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 927515] Re: Thunderbird stuck at 100% CPU
I am having the same issue with Windows 7. I guess it is not only related to Ubuntu or Linux. I tried to disable Global Search, remove .msf, rebuild index, compact folders and remove global-messages-db.sqllite. None of these steps make CPU lower. I am running TB 17.0.2.
