If would just you sit down and really think about the question you have just asked....... What period of time have you set Thunderbird to for it to save any mail being typed? I set mine to every 20 seconds. Any saved mail goes into the Drafts folder; once you send that message it is deleted from Drafts.

Just a follow-up to the above: I told a big 'porky' when I said I had the period set to 20 seconds in Thunderbird. The save time I have set is 1 minute (Edit>Preferences>Composition>Auto Save Every......). Sorry for the "porky" :-( .

If you are writing for half an hour, you will get 30 draft copies (hidden). It deletes them all when you send. When it crashes, you see all those 30 emails marked for deletion. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

It (or most of it) might be in the drafts folder.
Duaine wrote to me privately and in one of one responses I said to him that the message may be sitting in the Drafts folder, and I said this on the assumption that the default time to save in Thunderbird was 2 minutes - but I really do not know what this default setting is. I have mine set to 1 minute but what the original default value was I don't know. (I looked at my wife's TB and she has hers set to 2 minutes but this does not mean its the default value.) So his message may or may not be in Drafts, and he hasn't come back to tell if it is or not. BC -- Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government.

The original message was not in Drafts. Also, I have set the autosave to 1 minute - however - I started another message and got called away - TB crashed again but this time it was in Drafts. So now the question is, is there a limit how the Write session can be open ?

There is no reason why TB should crash on you - irrespective of how long you are spending writing or NOT writing a message. I notice that you are using TB 3.1.8 with the latest being 3.1.10 (in openSUSE 11.4). This leads to the question of when was the last time you updated your system - this may hold an answer, but may not. Also: which version of openSUSE are you using? Strangely enough, both my wife and I are using version 11.4 and we have found that for what seems to be no apparent reason our systems would simply lock-up at random - although her's would do it more often than mine (when in either TB or FF to be exact. Both are "Gnome-specific" aren't they? something to do with gtk or some such?) But on the other hand both would run for days without a lock-up. Heat was suggested but this cannot be so because it is the beginning of winter here and the ambient temperature is rather low meaning that the cpus are running at 39-40C and the mobos are at ~23C. There was some mention somewhere, perhaps in this list, that putting "noacpi" on the boot command line stopped such behaviour on some systems. I have put this thru on mine and so far I have had no lock-ups in the past few days. But this could also be a coincidence. OK, last observation: as I pointed out to you in private, when you get interrupted by a 'phone call, or whatever, spend those 2 seconds of mouse-clicking time to *SAVE* the message you were writing. It will then be in your DRAFTS when you recover from your "crash". BC -- Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government.
