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?
Turn it off. Advanced... General tab, "Enable global search and indexer", tick it off. It can be gigabytes. If you need searching and Th. misbehaves, use beagle indexing instead, I think it is more reliable by now. At least cpu-wise.
Has anyone who has turned the indexing off tried to use search in tbird 3.x? If the only difference from getting rid of indexing is longer searches, that's fine.
It simply means that if you search for email's body content, it takes longer. Way longer if the folder is large, or you request many folders Notice that that is not the only indexing it does. For each local folder it keeps an index file named "folder_name.msf", which is an index of the folder headers. It also keeps the read/sent/marked info. For remote imap folders it also keeps local indexes (so that it can show the headers fast). If you delete them they are recreated. And they can be large: I have about 250 MB in the gmail index file. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
