Thunderbird Beta causing pc to slow down, has very large inbox size and large NSTMP files

Im using Thunderbird Beta release. Starting last week, my PC would become extremely slow, to the point it would nearly come to a complete halt. After digging around, I realized it was due to excessively large Thunderbird NSTMP files that were being created. I would delete them and the speed would improve. But then a while later, the NSTMP files reappear and gobble up all my Harddisk again. Part of the issue is the sheer large size of the file, which will consume all available space on my HD, which at present is 600GB. But it also eats up all my RAM so my system slows down til the NSTMP file is fully built.

I use this as imap with Gmail installed on a PC with a 1TB SSD

Today after my pc started slowing again, I started poking around and noticed my main Inbox is massive, 29GB, which there is no chance its that large. All Mail is only 1GB to give perspective

This has been going on about a week.

I tried repairing my inboxes and other folders, but that does not seem to have helped.

The nstmp files are created when a compaction fails.

Thank you David, is there some way I can fix the compaction process so it does not fail?

Typically, more memory and smaller files work best. Checking to see if some files aren't necessary. Is this gmail? If so, you probably do not need the AllMail folder. However, I do not have experience with files as big as yours.

Hello,

it is not limited to Gmail. I'm using web.de and other german providers and have sometimes - nor reguarly - the same issue: an INBOX of about 70 MB (as shown in the size-column) seems to be on the HDD 3,5 GB (!), even after compacting etc. There are additionally NSTEMP-files of about 70 GB (!) - that cannot be normal - hugh. I can delete them when TB is down, but they show of - eh - sometimes ...

Any thoughts?

Regards, Bernard

What is your anti-virus software?

Disable automatic compact for now. There is no other workaround. We are waiting for a fix.

You can delete nstmp files.
