I've found Google Apps sluggish when it comes to bulk actions. Even using its own tools to migrate from Exchange, it's slow. I admit, more and more I've stopped using a local MUA and switched to using the web interface a lot of the time. When I have had need to grab old user's emails and roll them into a "past employee's mailbox", it's been sloooooow and I've left it running in a background process, and had to do a couple of passes to ensure that all the emails were captured. Would be curious to see, however, what people do suggest for an MUA these days.. I mean, Outlook SUCKS BADLY for IMAP (want to purge the download cache? Delete the account and add it again :-/) and GSSMO has "Personality".. Evolution was horrible when I looked at it last (maybe it's improved?) and scattered files throughout the filesystem.. Sylpheed is very low-fi and only single threaded.. Is Thunderbird getting active development these days (did I misread awhile back it'd been kiiiinda orphaned at some stage?) I dunno, it feels like MUAs haven't been getting a lot of love of late. On Thu, Jan 25, 2018 at 2:55 PM, Rohan McLeod via luv-main < luv-main@luv.asn.au> wrote:

Hi there!
We have moved to GMail from our own servers. For good reasons I have 4 mailboxes that I use. (At least one of which receives 200 messages per hour with a rule in place to move some of the content into folders).
I am using Thunderbird right now and the performance of GMail vs our Dovecot (Linux IMAP server) is sluggish. In addition mail takes longer to arrive and polling seems to cache old message lists.
Given that we cannot move away from GMail is it a client issue? Is there a better client?
Promises to be an interesting discussion! :-)
