I installed filelight, the second i opened it it was done: *Thunderbird* eats *54%* of the /home space.. How on earth is this possible! But more important: How can i get rid of the unnessesary junk it produces? I throwed away about 15.000 mails, but that had absolutely no effect.
What filelight says:

Can i just empty these dirs without destroying thunderbird? Or what would be the best i could do?
Well imho, used imap instead of pop. It leaves all the messages of your mail-server, instead of copying to your mail client. It has some other nice side effects, like you can read your mail from different machines, or (more) easily re-install a client machine without having to copy all of your mail-folders across. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
