Hi,

Conclusion: Thunderbird is indeed slow and a memory hog.
Ram seems normal for what I see here, one thing I found that helped alot with IMAP is I filter alot of mailinglists etc and end up with a large number of unread messages, marking old emails as read then changing some of my mail rules to mark stuff as read when it puts it in a folder (if i'm unlikely to read it anyway) made a big difference for me.
If memory were more or less constant, I would agree. But the first hour it stays under 1 Gig, and it responds fast and snappy. Then over the days it grows and grows bigger and slower. In the end, I have to restart it. Previously, with my older machine which had "only" 8 gigs, it swapped (up to 6 gigs). So I thought that the sluggishness came from having to retrieve chunks from swap. But that is not the case now. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
