Problem

I am trying to index a large IMAP mailbox. The indexer seems to be working fine then always stops while indexing the 'Archive' folder (~27k messages). Gets to a certain % and stops. This is the first time I have tried to index this mailbox.

Steps I have tried

  • Close and re-open TB
  • The indexing will restart happily and will index new emails but will still get stuck at some point during the Archive folder
  • Deleted the global-messages-db.sqlite and attempted rebuild as per here
  • Repair folder (Archive)
  • The percentage it 'stops' at will vary if I have done one of the above steps (e.g repair) but if you just close and re-open it always appears to stop at the same place.

Errors/Debugging

When it stops that co-incides with the following error messages (This is repeatable): (Sorry I don't know how to format code blocks on this forum, trying standard MD)

First:

TypeError: RecurIterator._expandMap[this.rule.freq] is undefined Ical.sys.mjs:5082:24 

   setup_defaults resource:///modules/calendar/Ical.sys.mjs:5082
   init resource:///modules/calendar/Ical.sys.mjs:3949
   fromData resource:///modules/calendar/Ical.sys.mjs:3887

   _ensureCoverage resource:///modules/calendar/Ical.sys.mjs:2791
   utcOffset resource:///modules/calendar/Ical.sys.mjs:2682
   convert_time resource:///modules/calendar/Ical.sys.mjs:2458
   convertToZone resource:///modules/calendar/Ical.sys.mjs:1531
   getInTimezone resource:///modules/CalDateTime.sys.mjs:133
   getItemDates resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calDateTimeFormatter.sys.mjs:453
   formatItemInterval resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calDateTimeFormatter.sys.mjs:474
   updateInvitationOverlay resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calInvitationUtils.sys.mjs:432
   setField resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calInvitationUtils.sys.mjs:380

   createInvitationOverlay resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calInvitationUtils.sys.mjs:292
   convertToHTML resource:///modules/CalMimeConverter.sys.mjs:59

Second:

NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS: [JavaScript Error: "RecurIterator._expandMap[this.rule.freq] is undefined" {file: "resource:///modules/calendar/Ical.sys.mjs" line: 5082}]'[JavaScript Error: "RecurIterator._expandMap[this.rule.freq] is undefined" {file: "resource:///modules/calendar/Ical.sys.mjs" line: 5082}]' when calling method: [calIDateTime::getInTimezone] calDateTimeFormatter.sys.mjs:453 

   getItemDates resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calDateTimeFormatter.sys.mjs:453
   formatItemInterval resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calDateTimeFormatter.sys.mjs:474
   updateInvitationOverlay resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calInvitationUtils.sys.mjs:432
   setField resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calInvitationUtils.sys.mjs:380
   updateInvitationOverlay resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calInvitationUtils.sys.mjs:418
   createInvitationOverlay resource:///modules/calendar/utils/calInvitationUtils.sys.mjs:292
   convertToHTML resource:///modules/CalMimeConverter.sys.mjs:59


A user (u758982) reported similar error messages in This bug report

However the bug reported (and now apparently fixed) related to:

TypeError: aPart is null MimeMessage.sys.mjs:142:7

Which in the case of u758982 followed the messages I have above.

I do not get the MimeMessage error.

Setup

Thunderbird 128.3.0esr (64bit) on Mac OS (14.6.1).

My thoughts

I presume there is a particular e-mail in that folder which has some kind of issue or error that causes the indexer to halt. I presume it's in some way related to calendar (e.g. and ICS invite or something with a formatting error) as the error messages seem to indicate that. Unforuntately I can't identify which e-mail it is or I'd probably just deal with that.

I'd appreciate any help in troubleshooting - if it's an error on my side or can be easily fixed (.e.g identify the e-mail!). Happy to provide more details as needed.

Thanks in advance.

I see your posting report in the "auto removed by reddit" queue, probably because of the logs that it included.
