Me too. And a separate /boot partition, and many others. I simply allow the system to create an initrd and it works fine.
I re-read your problems with later versions of T'Bird. I've been happily using it since Mozilla calved it off as its own product. As I've commented before, I use fetchmail to download onto a 'server' and access via IMAP from whatever workstation I'm at (which might even be over a ssh tunnel). Yes, I could configure all or specific folders to download from the IMAP server to a local cache but I've chose not to use that configuration option.
I configure the folders on the IMAP server -- i.e. the filter happens at delivery time, before IMAP sees them. I have over active mailboxes (ones that may have new mail) and near 500 total.
I know that Thunderbird local mail storage is inefficient, so I just run dovecot on my own computer, and let it store all email. Thunderbird has local caching disabled. This has the advantage of being able to see the same emails using Pine (what I'm using for the list), or evince, or seamonkey, or another computer in my local network... all use the same storage. You can even use several thunderbird versions each pulling from the same local storage! And keep your extensions.
That's not a problem. It's the "download for offline use" setting that went from default 'off' to default 'on' for all folders in 3.x.
Well, switch it off.
I'm not confusing the few-hundred meg index and stash of recent messages with my entire IMAP account of 5-6GB -- when 3.x started downloading that it was pretty obvious running amok.
Remove the tracker module of thunderbird. It causes imap traffic. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
