Public bug reported:

After having switched to Oneiric a couple of days ago, Thunderbird
freezes on receiving mail most (all ?) of the time.

Running in safe-mode this is very easy to reproduce for me:

Having an IMAP mailbox active, I ask someone to drop me a mail to that
mailbox.

I see the new mail in that mailbox summary, but Thunderbird is frozen
completely. The only action I can take is to close (i.e. kill) it via
the window manager.

This is strace output:

lulu:/home/ba> ps -ef | grep thund
ba        1388  2156  1 11:29 pts/2    00:00:04 /usr/lib/thunderbird-8.0/thunderbird-bin -safe-mode
ba        1516  2155  0 11:34 pts/1    00:00:00 grep thund
lulu:/home/ba> sudo strace -p 1388
Process 1388 attached - interrupt to quit
write(59, "\17\0)\0?\0S\0c\0q\0\201\0\217\0\233\0\242\0\246\0\243\0\235\0\226\0\214\0\201\0"..., 16560^C <unfinished ...>
Process 1388 detached
lulu:/home/ba> 

So obviously Thunderbird is hanging in a write to fd 59.

lsof tells me:

thunderbi 1388   ba   59u  unix 0xf26e9680      0t0 8554035 socket
thunderbi 1388   ba   60u  IPv4    8528771      0t0     TCP lulu:57892->abgze76e.fsc.net:imaps (ESTABLISHED)

This happens with different IMAP mailboxes (Google being one of them).
With Thunderbird in Natty (very same tb-configuration) I never had such
an issue.

I really would like to help debugging, if anybody gives me instructions.
But I REALLY need advise how to use another Thunderbird version (from
the ubuntu repos if possible).

Thanks

Gerd
