Guys, I'm so frustrated with Thunderbird I'm about to ditch it. I guess the problem has to do with the new indexing of messages. In the past I always like tbird because it was lightning fast and I was never left waiting on a sluggish email client to finish doing something I didn't tell it to do in the first place (like kmail). In the past few 3.x releases, tbird has gotten slower, and slower, and slower.... Tonight, I went to clean out my vbox folder since the mailing list has changed to a new sourceforge list. That left me deleting ~2500 messages. I scanned the subjects on the unread ones and would generally delete ~100 messages at a time. I finished the deletes in ~ 15 minutes. That was about 2 hours ago and tbird is still indexing and lying its ass off telling me it is 99% complete with message XXXX of YYYY -- just before it just increases both numbers and in reality tells you it has thousands more to do. 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? So far it looks like ever bit of software that tries some new latest-greatest indexing tools makes a complete mess of their product and ends up with a fiasco on their hands. Can you say "beagle" again, or stringi/nepomuk/avahi? 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. I don't do that many searches anyway and I would gladly trade a 5 minute delay in searching ever couple of days or so to get rid of hours of indexing, a "HOT" laptop due to running with the CPU pegged for hours and gigabyte index files scattered all over my box. Anyone have any experience after turning this junk off? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
