Thunderbird: This folder is being processed...
Thomas Ronayne
"This folder is being processed. Please wait until processing is
complete to get messages."
after it's been running for a while (like, about 30 minutes). Closing it
produces
"The operation can not be completed because of an internal failure.
A secure network communication has not been cleaned up correctly."
OK, I haven't seen this in a couple of years or so and haven't a clue
what's up with it -- the mail account is configured with SSL as it has
been for a year or so (required by the ISP), I've tried reducing the
check-for-messages setting to 5 minutes (in vain).
Any clues?

It can happen due to various reasons.

Are you using any ldap address book in Tb?
In that case, it is a bug , now fixed in trunk version of Tb.

By default Thunderbird (and Seamonkey but that doesn't have this
problem) "Use my global LDAP server preferences for this account;" I do
not have LDAP configured or enabled, so I've changed the setting to "use
a different LDAP server: None" and I'll see what happens with that.
Thanks for the input.

Any other hints, maybe :-P

do you have any other internet operations running?
when do you see notice?
manual request, timed request, sending email, compacting, moving email?

if closed when first shown, what is response?
can you monitor your internet connection to watch for traffic?

i see it from time to time, but only happens when doing 3rd line above.
i have never had your failure message.

not most likely, but, possible that you are clicking to get while get in
process? this is where a traffic monitor or seeing an activity light helps

wireshark or any other network monitor that will show what is happening.
even using 'top' might show something.

former 2 were possibilities, middle 2 - not much help, latter - would have
prevented baldness if applied after 1st 2.
how did you uninstall? try 'rpm -q -l thunderbird > 00-tbird.is.here' to
save listing then 'rpm -e --allmatches thunderbird*' then manually check
to be sure. this is to insure all are removed, tho should not be needed,
never know where fault is.
are you using same thunderbird package? if yes, download new and run
sum check to insure you have a good rpm.

(similar to Sun's package manager, logged in as root); I have
double-checked the download, checksums, etc. Additionally, I completely
removed the /.thunderbird/ directory from ${HOME}; is there anything
else Thunderbird installs or updates periodically in a user's home
directory, //tmp/ or somewhere else that might not be getting cleaned up?
I have Delete Junk Context Menu 0.3.2.1, Sender Verification Extension
version 0.9.0.2, Spamato4Thunderbird 0.99.1.3and Talkback 2.0.0.9
installed in this new installation, all new installations (and, oh, by
the way, all have been working just fine for a year or two with previous
installations). The extensions are installed in my home directory, not
system-wide.
I do note that I've been running SeaMonkey when Thunderbird screws up
and it runs (overnight) with no problems (so I don't believe I have a
network problem or any goofy system things going on -- seems to be
isolated to Thunderbird).
That's pretty much all I know.
Again, thanks for the input.

if seamonkey and thunderbird try to dl at same time or while other is,
this can cause problems.
also, there may be some overwrite of support libs that cause problem.
i recall a report of problems, but do not recall just what it was.
a google search may find it. use something like
"thunderbird" AND "seamonkey" AND "conflict"
in search entry.
you could try a remove of both and install only thunderbird to see if
problem continues. [i know, a lot of trouble, but which is worse?]
also, if you have a configuration issue with email providers. need to use
ssl, but are not. using ssl when should not.
manually select email providers on at a time to see which is locking, or
do all lock.
it is a bit of hit and miss. load only a virgin thunderbird and work up
from there. first with only one service, if ok, add next. if ok, then
install addons one at a time.
it will get very frustrating, but perseverance will reward.

So, onward and downward -- I'm going to try building from source and see
if that helps anything (ya never know...).
Thanks again for the time and effort.

that is interesting. i run thru at&t also.
i am using 'User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (X11/20090107)'.
only time is see 1st message is when i try to download or close while
tbird is in a download. have yet to see 2nd message.

before source, if all reinstalls have been distrib rpms, try pulling a
linux version from mozilla site. if that does not clear problem, then
try source.
also, have you check 'tools > error console'?

this is what it is all about. :)

sometimes that can be best.
hopefully for you, you will have better luck with version 3 or a later 2.

Thanks for the link -- already been though all that with no joy here in
Mudville.
Strange thing is, Thunderbird has the problem and Seamonkey mail does
not; yeah, I know, they're not the same thing at all -- but, with
identical settings to the same service provider and no problems, well,
I'm getting more confident that it's not my system or settings.
Thank you for you interest.

Thomas,
In Thunderbird 3 it would be great if we could nail some of the causes
of this problem. Your situation, if it matches up to any of the already
reported bugs, is a unique opportunity because you've got something
highly reproducible. Have you hooked up in any of the bug reports?
