Hi,

I am not sure when this started, but when I start up Thunderbird I have 2-3 minutes of 100% disk activity BUT only when there is new email... It even takes long enough for the connection to the POP server to time out. My whole system becomes unresponsive/unusable until this is finished.

CPU activity is minimal during this time, but with iotop i see Thunderbird taking up to 99.99 of io... See screenshot. I moved the old profile folder out of the way and created a fresh one, so that's not it. I feel it might be Thunderbird indexing the email that i have stored locally, but there is no noticeable difference between my old profile of 1.2GB and the current almost empty one?

I am on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.5 64bit and using Thunderbird 78.9.1 64bit.

I hope someone has a fix for this...

TIA
