I run FOUR copies of Thunderbird at one time, each with its own directory structure. Each has multiple mail addresses to download. I start them with command lines like: export MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 thunderbird -profile ~/data/htt/Mail & export -n MOZ_NO_REMOTE A typical mail 'system' will have 5Gb of archived mail in a 100+ nested folders. 1000+ emails per mail copy per day is typical. Compacting <in> and <junk> goes fast and thank g-d, never a crash from that. My system has crashed from running hot during a 3000+ mail download after being offline for a weekend and Thunderbird just 'reached' out and downloaded the mail, but given I am using POP (I could use IMAP but don't) it had to start from the beginning. If Trash gets above 50K messages I will start consider emptying it. I sometimes have to scan all my message folders when trying to remember where I stuffed something and if it is a header search still only takes a couple minutes. (I have learned to limit body searches to specific folders!) Oh, my mail server is running Courier Mail for POP and IMAP on a Fedora 12 Amahi.org server. I do have SquirrelMail available on my server and have used it at times. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
