Continuing with my comment 49, I'm not so sure there is an issue. Downloading of offline messages can stop after awhile, then seems to restart later, and this can appear to be redownloading unless I am really paying attention. So I am not 100% confident that "All Mail" was downloaded previously, for example. And now Connor's profile has decided to download 2853 messages in "Important" which I don't think have been downloaded before.
I should point out that my experiments do not include the patch for this bug. I think what I really need at the moment is a much more detailed description of the problems that people are experiencing (except for Erik's issues, I think we have those covered). For example: 1) Do you have a folder that was completedly downloaded previously, and is then downloaded again? If so, what triggers the new download (restart of program, selecting the folder, next day, if just random then how frequently does this occur). 2) In the previous issues, there was evidence that a particular type of email caused issues, and this email was repeatedly downloaded. So are particular emails being repeatedly downloaded, or the entire folder? The big issue here is, will the patch that Irving has proposed for Erik's issues also fix other issues, or are there some additional problems? I am particularly suspicious that there may be unrelated issues still plaguing Gmail. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074260 Title: Thunderbird heavy IMAP traffic downloading messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1074260/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
