Thunderbird is doing a major re-indexing of messages, which is really pushing my CPU to its limits. (i.e. getting over 60C core temperature, email process using 100-160% of CPU usage - dual core CPU)

I think Thunderbird *really, really, really* needs to have better mail store options like Maildir, instead of large files per folder. There's been some talk about this, but I don't know if anything eventuated and TB is in a lesser development state which makes it less likely to help it get some real improvements. If the mail store was plug able (as talked about), then performance of TB should be greatly improved and not just at indexing time. Cheers A.
