Otherwise you'd be able to read threads just fine. I have seen much larger threads on nntp servers than in this mailing list, and there were no problems to display them with gnus. >> Have you tried gnus or mutt? > > and migrate a mail-arhcive with around 2,000,000 messages? > thanks - no! Thunderbird uses mbox or something? IIRC, gnus and mutt can both use mbox, and you wouldn't really have to migrate. In case you would migrate, it would take quite a while to migrate the mails to nnmaildir with gnus. It would be incredibly fast with mutt. You could just leave them as they are and use nnmaildir (or maildir if you use mutt) only for the new ones. You got nothing to lose, so why not give gnus or mutt a try. You can always duplicate the incoming mails so you still have them in thunderbird as well. If you were storing them in maildirs, you could even run several MUAs on the same mail folders at the same time --- both mutt and gnus can do that. I think once you get used to either gnus or mutt, you'll love them. They are like made for you. -- "Object-oriented programming languages aren't completely convinced that you should be allowed to do anything with functions." http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/08/01.html -- 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 Have a question?
