I can confirm that thunderbird uses 100% CPU from time to time, often without any apparent reason. (Sometimes I didn't even look at it for hours) Normally, it does that for about five minutes and then goes back to sleep. </serious-and-contructive-part> <flame> Thunderbird really is a big pile of crap. There are bugs everywhere! I havn't seen something this bad since KDE 4.0. The only reason I didn't switch to mutt yet is that I don't know how to replace the filter feature.
