Ole, I've noticed that Thunderbird can often slow down on larger imap
accounts or certain folders with a large number of messages. One thing I
have done is to clear out the files in
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\<profile name>\ImapMail
This should not cause loss of messages, but you may lose a few folder
preferences (message retention policies, message filter rules, and work
offline settings) in TB. You can back these up if you wish.
This will often resolve the problem for me and bring TB back to a fully
responsive state. YMMV.

Thanks a bunch to all who contributed to the issue!
(Sorry for late reply, can only work a little in the evening on this.)
The problem remains unsolved. Facts are
- Win TB *does* use SQUAT index as per log file
- messages returned are the same, but speed differs considerably
- WinXP has firewall and antivirus scanning disabled, no effect
Will run Ethereal next. More suggestions most welcome!
Kindly,
Ole

Hello,
after setting up Cyrus 2.2.12/Postfix 2.2.5/Fetchmail 6.2.5.2 on a
SUSE Linux 10.0 box, and activating squatter to create full-text
search index in cyrus.conf, index has been created and one can search
now about 2GB of mail within seconds - fantastic!
Unfortunately this only works with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 from Linux
client, trying the same from Windows XP SP2 client (also TB 1.5.0.4)
search takes ages and SQUAT index is obviously not used.
Any hint for making Win TB use SQUAT index would be greatly appreciated!
Kindly,
Ole
