Re: [opensuse] [SOLVED] SuSE 11::Thunderbird eats up the CPU

Hi all, maybe it's an odd solution but that's what I did to get rid of those Thunderbird hangs... * as a precautionary measure I moved ~/.thunderbird to ~/DOTthunderbird * started Thunderbird from scratch so ~/.thunderbird is recreated * added all my IMAP accounts one by one, even the Gmail ones It works like a charm now... so I guess there must be something dirty/corrupted under the old ~/.thunderbird that was causing the problems. What exactly I can't tell you... but these steps solved my issue. HTH, Martin ----- Original Message ----

Hi,

sorry for the late reply.

I only use Thunderbird for email not for newsgroups. Because it keeps on freezing I'm now using Kmail or Evolution which seem to work just fine...

Now I'm trying to choose between the two, still under KDE 3.5.9... Kmail vs. Evolution... which one is better?? :-)

Cheers, Martin

Hi list,

I'm in the process of customizing my new openSuSE 11.0 x86_64 at home. Still using KDE 3.5.9 due to it's maturity and really looking forward to seeing KDE4 more stable...

Anyway, after configuring Thunderbird as IMAP client for my Gmail accounts the

Using Kmail instead works fine though... but I do prefer Thunderbird (more

used to it).

So, has anyone faced such a situation under openSuSE 11 before? if so, what

have you done to solve it?

TIA, Martin

I've experienced the same problem a while ago (not sure about the version I had then as I was using factory) with gmail IMAP and every time I have attempted to use Tbird for novell newsgroups it has slowed down and eventually locked when downloading message bodies. If I remember correctly my gmail IMAP lockup also happened when downloading message bodies. I used popmail instead and forgot about the problem. Maybe we have found a bug, does your lockup happen when downloading message bodies and have you tried newsgroups? My last newsgroup problem was recent.
