[Bug 675673] [NEW] One junk email repeat thousand of times (until thunderbird is stopped)

[Alexis Wilke]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

It is the 3rd time that this happens. I do not know why it would happen,
but at some point Thunderbird reads an email, decides that it is Junk
mail, and moves it to the Junk folder. Then it repeats it over and over
again until stopped by closing Thunderbird (the first time, it
duplicated the email 5,501 times). When I restart Thunderbird, the
problem doesn't repeat itself.

I have used Thunderbird for some time now and it is only recently that
this behavior started. It happened 3 times now and each time I can tell
that it is one single email being duplicated over and over again.

Since I do not know why it happens, I have no clue how to reproduce it.
I was thinking that it could have something to do with my filters. If it
is possible to export those, I'd be glad to post them here. Otherwise,
Thunderbird connects to Postfix to download the emails and that works
just fine. Just in case, I verified that the email wasn't duplicated on
the server and sure enough it isn't.

Thank you.
Alexis
