Thunderbird 140: IMAP keeps downloading old emails. "Downloading message x of y in folder" and it goes folder by folder, some of these folders have a lot of mail so this can take ages.
Greetings
After updating to 140 (release update channel), IMAP folders keep downloading all emails in a folder, even though the vast majority of them are already local. I get the message "Downloading message x of y in folder" and it goes folder by folder, some of these folders have a lot of mail so this can take ages.
I do have a lot of folders and emails, I have tried compacting and searched for weeks, and only very old and not exactly this issue, any ideas?

Is this gmail? If not, please list your mail provider.
How many messages tend to be in these folders?

I do not understand the context of this statement - version 140 has only been out about one week.

The provider is Rackspace
The folders themselves have 40-2000 emails, and the inbox is rather large. 26000 messages in total.
I realized that fixing the msf file might help, and sure enough this seems to not only take care of the issues it also took care of the error I was getting on the inbox when compacting.
The issues started when I update to "release" stream. I would suggest that, if possible a repair of the msf should be attempted, and might correct the issue for large mailboxes.
