Hello! I recently got the update to Thunderbird 128 on my PopOS laptop via sudo apt update/upgrade. I don't know what the previous version was. Since the update, Thunderbird will spike my CPU to 120 - 140% (per command-line "top") if I have an interaction with it (e.g. reading and then deleting an email that was received) after the program has been sitting idle for several minutes. After a few minutes of loud fans, things calm down again so I presume Thunderbird is doing some sort of maintenance routine that completes successfully.

I do not have the global search index thing turned on. I did not change the default mailbox db idle time. I do have rather large mailboxes that are synced via SMTP, from three different providers. There are dozens of folders (not hundreds) containing thousands if messages (but not tens of thousands). Hopefully that gives an idea of scale .. I don't have a massive overload of untended email history but I do have a quantity of historical emails that the system has to deal with.

I followed the excellent directions online to obtain a profile during one of these high-cpu sessions. It is available at https://share.firefox.dev/4dAmyAz

Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to help diagnose this issue, such as generating more specific profiles. The high-cpu state is a pretty common occurrance now.

Over the past few weeks my emails are constantly freezing up when I open Thunderbird. It hangs up and I have to close the program and then restart, sometimes having to do this several times. It will then be normal for a short while, and start doing it again. I am running Windows 7 on my PC, I have the latest Thunderbird downloaded up until two weeks ago I never had this issue. I have not installed any new software either. I did think maybe it was CCleaner or Advanced Systemcare so I uninstalled those two programs yet the problem is still ongoing. Its quite frustrating and I can't figure out why its happening or what a potential fix for it. Thank you to those who respond.

Bookmark titles are not searchable beyond 234 characters. I cannot search for a word lets say X if it is after 234 characters in the bookmark title. If X is within the first 234 characters of a bookmark title I can find the bookmark by searching X. If it is after 234 characters I cannot find the bookmark by searching X. This is a major problem and being able to search the full bookmark title is essential for my work. Is there a workaround, or will Mozilla fix this, or is there an add on or third party software that will enable me to search for that?

Thank you

Hi. When I view the Activity Manager, I see many log entries similar to the following except with different folders: "The current operation on 'Kailah' did not succeed. The mail server for account xxx@gmail.com responded: [NONEXISTENT] Invalid folder: Financial/Venmo/Kailah (Failure)." The folder in question existed a long time ago and has since been deleted. Same for all the other similar messages. The folder(s) was / were originally created in Thunderbird and then deleted after many months. If I create the invalid folder in Gmail, the message no longer logged. I reboot the computer daily and every day these messages appear. I am assuming something is out of sync and Thunderbird believes these folders exist. What can I do to remove these issues. Server type is IMAP Mail Server. Using Thunderbird 115.14.0 (64-bit)

Yesterday I upgraded to thunderbird 128. I have messages displayed in horizontal layout. Previously each message in the top pane used only one line, and there was minimal space between messages. Now each message requires two lines, with a large gap between messages. This means that I can see fewer than half as many messages at one time as before. How can I change the layout so each message takes up less space in the top pane?
