I have Thunderbird configured to "Autosave" every 5 minutes. (I believe
that this is the default configuration for Thunderbird.)
When writing an email, if the email is written and sent within the
initial 5 minutes (i.e. less than the Autosave period), no autosave
files are retained in the "Drafts" folder after the email is sent. This
I understand to be the correct and desired functionality.
However, if the writing of the email takes longer that the Autosave time
period, (i.e. longer than 5 minutesin the default configuration) the
Autosave temporary files that are saved in the "Drafts" folder on
Thunderbird are NOT deleted automatically when the email is sent.
This leads to a situation where, after a period of normal use of
Thunderbird, the Thunderbird "Drafts" folder will contain multiple
copies of the Autosave temporary files for many emails.
There appears to be no configuration option in Thunderbird that would
force the Autosave temporary files to be deleted, once each email has
been sent.
As a result, I assume that a BUG exists in which the Autosave temporary
files fail to be deleted automatically when the related email is
completed and sent.
