Bugzilla – Bug 136124
Malformed URLs block Thunderbird
Last modified: 2006-03-29 14:31:18 UTC
Emails (spam) with a malformed URL blocks POP3 email download with Thunderbird. A number of emails will download until the bolcked email is encountered. Thunderbird then blocks and no further emails can download until the blocking email is cleared on the POP3 server. This is apparently a known Thunderbird bug, and there is apparently a fix due in in early December. This is a serious bug, so an update to Thunderbird should be made available as soon as possible.
wolfgang? are you aware of it? this cannot block 10.0
If there is apparently a fix. Would you please point us to that (e.g. by bugzilla id)?
Created attachment 59437 [details] text information on bug There are several bug reports on this. This is one. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260629 I was told on the Thunderbird help forum that there would be a fix on the next version of Thunderbird (version 1.5), but I can't find the fix. The best thing would be to contact the person dealing with the bug at mozilla - mscott@mozilla.org
I can't find any fix and it seems that the reason for this can be found on the server side. I found no proof that it's a client problem nor a fix for it. If you have more references (as the forum link) please post them here.
no feedback.
