Re: ot: how to t/s TBird problems ?

I recently upgraded my Thunderbird email client and have experienced problems since. It appears that when Tbird polls for new messages it gets held up waiting for a response from the server I'm using POP port 995. Any ideas as to why I'm having a problem ?

how to investigate such issue ?

I suspect you'll need to do session logging e.g.

    protocol pop3 {
            ...
            rawlog_dir = /writable/logdir/%u
    }

then

    mkdir /writable/logdir/user
    chmod 0777 /writable/logdir/user

to obtain session transcripts of what server/client are doing.

I don't see any obvious errors from the logs that indicate any failure. I do see the INBOX is rather large so maybe a timeout is involved.
