RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

normal and full stack traces captured with gdb
I have run a local Dovecot IMAP server. I use OfflineIMAP to sync my local Maildir with my Zimbra account. So, Zimbra --> OfflineIMAP --> Maildir --> Dovecot --> Thunderbird.
Each morning when I start Thunderbird:
- the status bar reports "Looking for folders..."
- the mouse pointer is animated, with the well-known rotating mozilla (or gnome?) disc
- originally this pointer is shown only when I hover over my folders. I can still click on menu items, for example
- when I try to click on any folder, the app completely freezes (except for the rotating mouse pointer). If I Alt-Tab to another window, then back, Thunderbird can't even refresh its window anymore.
- Then I go to the command line, issue "killall thunderbird-bin". Thunderbird shuts down, I restart it, and everything's fine. Until next morning.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
thunderbird-3.1.16-2.el6_1.x86_64
How reproducible:
100% (each morning)
Actual results:
Thunderbird hangs when started afresh after a longer time of non-use.
Expected results:
Thunderbird never hangs.
Additional info:
Attaching stack trace. I have also saved a core file with the gcore gdb command; ping me if you need it.

OTOH I don't want to give out this core as it can contain private data. I'd be happy to assist with debugging it though. Thanks.
