Hmmm... Dear Philip,
So it actually is a bug in Ubuntu Thunderbird -- Thunderbird has problems running zimbra email. Also, the messages almost definitely have to do with the lag that i am seeing -- they occur at exactly the same time. Only one thing wrong with that: Thunderbird on my wife's Windows computer has no trouble with exactly the same zimbra mail account. So, if the bug is in Thunderbird, then it's only in Ubuntu Thunderbird. Nikki thought that it was a bug in Ubuntu's Glib. She directed me to emails indicating a similar problem with Firefox and Ubuntu glib -- but that's been fixed. -- Saul On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 10:00 PM, Phillip Susi <ps...@ubuntu.com> wrote: > The messages come from glib, but indicate an error in thunderbird.
