Since the preview pane is exactly that, a preview, then it should just display the first 50 lines of text from any attached text document. It was just a 1MB file, not the 50-100MB mentioned earlier (that many email systems would reject anyway). But during this period, Thunderbird is completely frozen, and the whole machine pretty much grinds to a halt (Windows XP SP2, Pentium 4, 3.42 GHz with 1GB RAM).Īlthough the preview feature is handy, it should not cause the program to freeze up in this way. Eventually the message does appear, complete with 1MB of XML underneath it. When I highlight this message, Thunderbird freezes up for 30 seconds or so. For example, I've just been sent an XML file of just 1MB (not zipped. You'd have to be mailbombed for this to have any real effect, so your email box would probably fall over first.īut if not a bug, it is most definitely a performance issue. I don't think it's a security issue as such. When loading preview look to memory consumption by task manager produce a large e-mail, around 50-100MB in TEXTģ. I deserve a signed Thunderbird T-Shirt from the dev team for this :-Dġ. Mail from Your mailbox and recompress folder to remove wasted space This is asking for trouble anyway.Ĭ) (Qmail) Maildir storage would be a better option to remove large mails Thunderbird should not use so much memory !!!Īt least it may not raise to 570.000K of mem. Much like an editor handling large mails with a paging feature.Īnd it should display arrows to browse through the large email.ī) Memory. What do You do ? You cancel the process in taskmanager (windows)Īnd You can handle the e-mail for removal etc.Ī) Message-view should load and display only a part of the mail. More ! Normally Thunderbird use 20.000K memory (v1.5.x), 45.000K memory (v2.0) When reading the mail for display, it runs up to 570.000K memory !!! Version 1.5.x and v2.0 runs in a time consuming loop. Using IMAP, or viewing large emails in local folders.
You see a few tickets about large e-mails.
