Alan is referring to the bug regarding appdata/local/temp/pidxxx folders : bug
1769423
This continues to be a problem in release version TB 102.2.2 win64
TB needs to stop creating permanent pid folders which contain read only copies
of attachments that are stored permanently. Although you can edi
This still appears to be an issue on Windows and also Linux. Folders
such as pid-32601 get created when you open an attachment. The number
changes each time you open a new session of Thunderbird, but the folders
and their contents are never cleared.

Correct. Both the send back-end and the smtp implementation has been rewritten

I think we can close this. Please reopen if you can reproduce with a recent

One standard way to deal with this kind of thing is to open the file -
then immediately unlink the file. The file handle can continue to be
used to read / write the file.
The file is removed from the directory list (so is no longer visible).
It is removed completely when the file handle is closed
I can confirm this as well.
This appears to be in the message sending code. I would not be surprised if
saving drafts also triggers these files as saving a draft shares a lot ofg the
same code as actually sending.

Still valid. On a system with lots of Users, there are thousands of
mails left which all go in the backup. Why can't you just have them
automatically deleted after sending them - or at least some kind of

I consider this a memory leak and/or design flaw. My feeble
understanding of Thunderbird innards suggests that these files might be

deleted once the message is sent and the copy is in the Sent folder.

Surely leaving temporary files in a public directory for emails composed
many days ago and which have long been sent is not an elegant or well
engineered thing to do?

Are you sure those files remain in /tmp after exiting thunderbird?
I just tested this locally, when composing an e-mail a file
