Thunderbird freezes downloading messages when it reaches a message from aliexpress.
Hello everyone,
Environment: Thunderbird 155.0 Windows 11 Pro, Surfshark VPN and Bitdefender Total Yahoo.ca POP3 account transaction@notice.aliexpress.com promotion@aliexpress.com
The Symptoms: Thunderbird stopped downloading emails from my yahoo.ca account with the message "Downloading message 1 of xx" where xx was increasing from one day to the next.
What I Have Tried: I disabled the antivirus and VPN without any result. I deleted the file global-messages-db.sqlite without any result. I entered the web interface in my yahoo.ca account and I saw that after the last message downloaded in Thunderbird there was a message from <transaction@notice.aliexpress.com>. I deleted the message from <transaction@notice.aliexpress.com>, restarted thunderbird and it started downloading messages until the next email from <transaction@notice.aliexpress.com>. I repeated the procedure several times with the same results: Thunderbird downloads any message except messages from <transaction@notice.aliexpress.com>. Other messages from aliexpress.com (e.g. promotion@aliexpress.com) were downloaded without any problems. The message download is blocked only when an email from <transaction@notice.aliexpress.com> is reached.
I searched for solutions on the internet but I didn't find anything.
