Thunderbird slow to send or receive email
Lately Thunderbird is very, very slow to send or receive email from POP3 Gmail. I've noticed the slowdown a while ago, and hoped that a reinstall would fix the issue. But it does not.
I am using a fresh snap install of 115.9.0 on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04, with calendars disabled.
This is what happens:
- When checking or sending mail, Thunderbird spins up a single CPU core for 130 seconds.
- The CPU core spins only if Thunderbird is on foreground (not if in background or minimized).
- I can see on the Network Monitor that until 130 seconds have elapsed no network request are made.
- After 130 seconds of waiting, some requests to google are made and mail is actually checked in a couple of seconds.
Seems that Thunderbird waits for something that never happens, and actually checks mail only after something times out.
How can I fix this? Do you have any suggestion of what to try?
Regards,
José
