Hi all, thanks for support.
I noticed this inconvenience from years, have never been fixed, but it is so rare that I didn't want to post here. Now I'm using Uber often, and the problem start annoying me.
When Uber mails come (btw not only from Uber) with the results of my taxi ride, Thunderbird hangs, use 100% of CPU costantly and the only way to use it back is to kill the process, access my email via web (webmail) and delete that email, then restart Thunderbird.
I notice it downloaded that email many times, maybe each time it self-check the mailboxes (in my case every 10 minutes), so I have several messages of the same email.
Something wrong maybe with mailboxserver, I use POP3, but certainly it's a bug of Thunderbird.
I've that email on the deleted folder of webmail, so if any developer is interested (I hope so!) I can forward it him.
Thank you

Re: Thunderbird hangs when download particular email (Uber)
There are seldom (if ever) any Thunderbird developers present on these forums. This forum is not run by or formally associated with Mozilla. We're an independent user-helping-user community.so if any developer is interested
Do you have any extensions installed in that installation of Thunderbird?

Re: Thunderbird hangs when download particular email (Uber)
I checked with new version nothing change, even if I start it in safe mode (no extensions are loaded!)
The following are screenshot of the problem, it hangs on downloading the first "bugged" email, and it copy it different times, every some minutes.

In this moment the main window is "frozen" or really with low reactivity (it may update every 20-30 seconds), and if you draw over another windows this is the result:
It needs to be killed from task manager
If I manually delete the "bugged" email by webmail, thunderbird will open again fully working, and this is the result. The bugged email can now be seen.

I worked with a testcase sent by the reporter. There is nothing wrong with the reporter's folders nor his system. It's just a base64 encoded email that takes a long time to decode.

Re: Thunderbird hangs when download particular email (Uber)
thanks for help, I don't know what this mean but I still have the problem.
When removed from inbox by webmail, I can open the downloaded "bad" emails without any latency, no problem on decode.
This is just a problem when downloading the email!

Re: Thunderbird hangs when download particular email (Uber)
It probably happens only with POP3 connection. Probably it happens when some images are attached in the body of the email.
Please test this on POP3, not IMAP.
