[Users] Claws sometimes consume 100% CPU

[lists]

Here is a thought. If you think it is a problem message you must be using imap. With pop3 the message is local so you only process it once. 

You could read your mail with pop3, preferably with a different client. That would take all the mail off the server. I suggest a different client so that you can cluster the mail, kind of making an archive independent of claws. 

If you don't like that idea, how about rebuilding the imap tree for all your accounts in claws. I believe you will lose all the mail not currently on your server. You should save any email you think you will need. 

I like the first suggestion better. Load up thunderbird and read all your email in pop3.

I have new finding, it freezes, consume 100% CPU, but I was able to click new
message and when new modal was opened it unfreezed and showed error:

"Error occurred while processing mail.\n"

According to translation file. Maybe there is some missformatted email that
is causing the error when processing messages. Maybe infinite loop. One issue
this time is that I was able to click other directory and it was showing that
it was processing messages, maybe the error happen because I click on
directory and then on new message.

Is there a way to find that email? by enabling some debugging tricks?

Should I create a bug report and comment there?
