For users of version 1.1.7 or earlier

Autobucket has changed the data storage destination from Sync storage area to Local storage area from version 1.2.0.

The reason for the change is that even if the data is deleted, the Sync storage area is only set with the deleted flag, and the actual data is not deleted and continues to be accumulated. As a result, Thunderbird started taking a long time.

This change resolves the slow startup issue, but the Sync storage still has data with the deleted flag. There is no particular operational problem with this, but if you are concerned that the data will continue to remain, you can delete the past data by the following method. However, please be careful as you edit the Thunderbird database directly.

  1. Download DB Browser https://sqlitebrowser.org/
  2. Exit Thunderbird
  3. Open storage-sync.sqlite in the folder where the Thunderbird target profile is saved using DB Browser.
  4. Execute delete from collection_data where collection_name ='default / autobacket@a-tak.com' and record like'%" _ status ":" deleted "%' on the SQL Execution tab.

This completes the work.
