Guys,
Does anybody have a fix for this slow indexing problem (other than turning it off). Wolfgang, do you know if Mozilla is working on anything to fix this problem?
Sorry, the best advice I can give at the moment is to shut off indexing. I have a fast raid both on my server and on my client, but still the indexing process wasn't finished after more than 30 hours...
My global-messages-db.sqlite was bigger than 1 gb, and no end in sight.
Has anyone who has turned the indexing off tried to use search in tbird 3.x? If
Ah...3.x. That's your problem. I'm still at 2.x
Both times I tried to switch to 3.x, it hosed my email. It's a show stopper from the beginning, as it re-arranges my start page and no longer allows the 3 panel option (1 tall column with all accounts and folders, and 2 panels to the side of that with folder messages from selected folder on top, and message on bottom).
This is how I have mine set without problems. Actually I have a forth volume for my calendar.
I thought it might be my extensions, but turned them off. Still couldn't configure it to be useful. Was hoping enough people would tell braindead designers to LEAVE USER'S setup's ALONE on upgrades -- all them to turn on features as they wish -- don't dump them into an alien environment and expect them to love it.
3.x was a piece of junk. Thank god for backups.
I find it quite usable. Perhaps you didn't take the time to set it up correctly.
I'd suggest going back to the 2.x series where I haven't seen these problem.
I wouldn't as 3.x works quite well. At least after you turn the ugly indexing that the devs don't test in the real world, (with several thousand emails in separate folders).
I'd also suggest checking out 'dovecot' for your IMAP server. It also does server indexing and is hellacious fast! You may need to modify dovecot's initial setup to allow personally tuned settings. It's set for low-resource consumption/user on server. Since I want it giving full featured access to my few users, I upped it's per-user limits by about 10x.
Best of all, it works with the old linux mbox format. So it is compatible with the old imap-gw which got axed in 11.2.
And did I mention it was fast? It's one of the few imap servers (the other was panda) to pass the full IMAP compatibility test suite. It's faster than panda (panda may handle some older OS configs better that shouldn't be applicable on Suse11.2).
