(Keywords: hang, Whiteboard: [gs][need testing])
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird v. 3.1.3
Thunderbird creates "nstmp" folder if Thunderbird tries to get new email messages while compacting. If you try to delete the newly created "nstmp" folder, Thunderbird will lock up.
Compacting command needs a sub-program or sub-routine added that will put Thunderbird into "Offline" mode before compacting and then back into "Online" mode when done.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compact folders
2. New email messages start to download during compacting operation
3.

broker4u, does this still reproduce?
xref
- Bug 553165 - Provide automatic function to delete nstmp files (maybe on startup and/or shutdown)
- (fixed for v3.1(.0), but not related to getting new mail?) Bug 546384 - another new nstmp file created and not deleted each time after using "Compact Button", but not when "File/Compact Folders" from menu - handle offline store streaming errors and track compact status to prevent multiple compacts

Summary: "Nstmp" folder created if Thunderbird downloads new email during compact operation → TB hangs if "Nstmp" folder deleted while Thunderbird downloads new email during compact operation
Whiteboard: [gs] → [gs][need testing]
So what is the issue in this bug?
That messages can come in while TB is compacting Inbox?
I vote for fixing that one! I think not only set offline mode but disable any interaction with TB as it is really dangerous. Also Outlook does that - has a modal dialog saying "Compacting".
