[15:51] <species_4981> hello all - please could you help track down a problem/feature I see in Thunderbird? My profile is stored on a NASboxand every so often I find that my network traffic has hit maximum ... if I killall thunderbid the traffic stops, otherwise I see 100Mbps upload from my PC to my Nasbox and maybe 3Mbps download (Nas to PC) ... clearly the traffic is from thunderbird but why? How do I identify the cause and then stop it?
[15:51] <species_4981> This is using Linux Mint 13, built on Ubuntu 12.04
[22:23] <micahg> species_4981: global indexer and/or synchronized folders?
[22:27] <species_4981> micahg: thanks! Yes, it might be synced folders, that's true ... and I have looked ... maybe I missed one. Not sure what "global indexer" means though ...?
[22:31] <species_4981> ahhh ...I understand now ...have disbaled global searching and I'll monitor the traffic to see if that cures it. Thanks micahg
