(Get the code!)
We don't know why this problem starts.
We only know that if this problem appears (slow pc caused by thunderbird blocked while creating tmp files) we can solve it by:
- closing thunderbird
- deleting tmprules*.dat and msgfilterrules.dat
- starting thunderbird
After taht, thunderbird works ok, but it starts creating again temporary files (this time, only a couple of files). We have seen that, when the users says to us "my thunderbird is slow", the problem is caused by the temporary files problem. We see in the %TEMP% folder up to 9999 temporary dat files.
We can't reproduce the problem after the solve it (by the way, we don't know if the problem will appear again if the count for the temporary files will be again 9999).
File SpamAssassin.sfd under Windows is under the program files directory so no writable by a "user".
