Guys, Wolfgang,
I am seeing 3 issues with the new thunderbird 6.0.2 on 11.4:
(1) Attachments are slower than ever to save. Specifically, if I view attachments withing thunderbird, then rt-click -> Save As, I get a dialog window that opens and slowly the files are saved to my local disk. This has always been lightning quick in the past. It looks like 6.0.2 is "re-downloading" the files before saving instead of using the files it has already downloaded. Here is the dialog I get:

(2) With 6.0.2+dovecot, I can create IMAP folders on the server just fine, but if I misspell a name and need to delete the folder I just created, thunderbird can't delete it. I know this is a new problem, because I have never had a problem deleting folders in the past. Here is the error dialog I get:
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/openSUSE_bugs/114/thunderbird/no-delete-folder...
I understand this could also be dovecot... What to check?
(3) The folder "All Folders" list is slow to scroll in 6.0.X. I use middle-mouse-wheel to scroll up/down to different folders and I have always had instant responsiveness with tbird (from 1.X on). Now with 6.X, there is a delay before scrolling occurs. It's like running kde4 on a 386. I know there have been upstream changes to gtk2 with backports of gtk3 functionality, but I don't know how to tell if this is tbird or gtk related. I presume gtk, but what say the experts? How to test?
Thanks for any thoughts you may have...
Hi John, cannot comment on #2 & #3 (don't use dovecot and have never tried to scroll the folders list) but re #1 I don't see this slow problem: a 4.5MB attachment was saved in a blink of an eye.
