Thunderbird 45.1.0, only add-on is Remove Duplicates. Windows 10 x64 Professional.

I noticed my global search stopped indexing new emails. I'm familiar with the procedure to remove the global file and wait for the messages to reindex, however, the old file stopped at 1.9XX Gig which set my warning flags off as this typically is the 32-bit file size max file size.

Anyone else have issues with > 2GB global-messages-db.sqlite file size?

There is no such 2GB file size limit in Windows or for Thunderbird.It may be stuck on a bad message - but that's not supposed to happen.

Is it indexing OK since you deleted the file?

Thanks, I did a complete reindex. It's returning current results now, so I'm guessing the index sizing being 1.99G is just coincidence. Thanks,.
