Title:
  Thunderbird hogging CPU

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  I have thunderbird installed with lightning and it's consistently
  hogging CPU (50% of a dual core). This heats my system up, kills my
  battery life and causes my fans to run high. Not sure what I can
  provide to help pinpoint the problem. Thanks in advance

  I guess I can provide that I have a gmail imap account and a hotmail
  imap account set up. This does not require me to send a message or do
  anything really, just opening thunderbird and letting it check mail
  jacks the CPU usage up permanently.
