Hi List,
I experience difficulties with Thunderbird, I have over 5000 emails now (lots of attachments, etc.) and I also use this list without deleting messages every day :). The things is that now when I try to open an e-mail in Thunderbird with an attachment, it will go gray(I believe this is one of the compiz's fancy stuff) and I have to kill TB from konsole because it freezes.
Do you know if large number of e-mails is the cause of that, and if KMail is handling that better?
I tried to switch to KMail earlier, but with lots of accounts I'm using it was pain in the butt. Now if KMail will work better with this I may consider trying to switch again.
Thanks

I find that if the mail gets to full T-Bird slows to a crawl. I keep all my mail folders trimmed down and no problem. I've never let it get to the point that it locks things up. The trash folder is set to empty out anything over three days old. If I don't need it within three days I won't need it at all. Something that's important I save somewhere else.
Just don't understand the person that pack rats EVERYTHING.
I agree keeping EVERYTHING is nuts! However, I've found it invaluable on many occasions that I had old e-mails from clients or vendors that I needed to get back to after several years. My problem is that it's easier for me to find in Thunderbird than when using other methods. That's why I have so many old ones. I have some e-mails that date back to 1995! In the case of most e-mail lists, I try to keep them trimmed down. I just have not had a chance to do it lately. :-) But the way I have them stored in Thunderbird, it doesn't seem to affect the performance. I've never had Thunderbird lock up on me. -- Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
