Does Thunderbird crash when you have to many emails in Inbox ??
I have a friend that has had thunderbird crash three times in one year
he says he has 600 emails in Inbox, and I check to see how many
emails are in his inbox and there isn't 600 email there. But he
does leave a
lot of emails in the Inbox.
You try to read emails and they are not emails from the person that
sent
them ,they are from someoe else.
Is there something wrong with Thunderbird that causes it to crash,
when
you get to many emails in the Inbox ??
Is there a better email browser, not Evolution.
Is there a virus out there that affects email boxes, he gets email
from
all over the US, I have never seen one person get so emails as he
does.
Does he have problems with any other programs crashing?

No, just thunderbird. what I mean by crash is the emails come but
there screwed up, email comes one person. and has body of email from
another person.
I have seen this at work. The only people that this happens with all
use Outlook and Exchange server. One person it happens with with
almost every email. I have seen this same problem more times in
Evolution than in TB.
I normally have over 2000 messages in lists that I don't keep a close
eye on that I need to follow from time to time. I cannot remember the
last time that TB crashed. My ImageMagick list is presently at 3438
messages. I guess I had better get reading. :)
Try running
File > Compact Folders.
This will clean up index files. It needs to be run form time to time.
I don't know about Thunderbird, but I do know for certain that in
SeaMonkey (32-bit at least) whenever the
*size* of any mailbox exceeds 2GB (2*1024*1024*1024 bytes), strange
things happen to the index. The safest
fix (assuming Inbox is the affected folder)is:
1. Take the system off-line so that nothing else is stuffed into the Inbox
2. If possible, copy both Inbox and Inbox.msf to some safe place temporarily
3. Position the cursor on the Account heading
4. File -->new -->folder to create a new folder under that account
5. Select a few months worth of oldest messages in the Inbox
6. File (or move) the selected messages to the newly created folder
7. The index files will be adjusted as the move takes place (several
minutes)
8. Go back on-line, send yourself a couple of tests to be sure that
headers and bodies match up
9. Remove the temporary files (2 above) and get on with your life.
