Just to say, I too have some issues with Thunderbird. I backup my working hard disks regularly as I have quite a few HDD now. I wonder if this topic and other 'standard' applications and their idiosyncrasies could be a topic of a meeting. Since my energetic restart into developing apples (have you seen orage) I have had to keep track of versions of apps etc on particular distros. David, I wonder how best to share tips. Searching the internet might be one way but not necessarily the best. Thinking about a good way forward , Mike On 03/01/2015 2:09 PM, "David Zuccaro" <david.zuccaro@optusnet.com.au> wrote:
Hi,
Hope you're all keeping cool on this rather oppressive day.
I have an i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz with 4Gb of memory running linux mint 17.
As the title suggests I'm finding Thunderbird to be very sluggish so I
would welcome suggestions to help boost performance. (actually evolution was better in this regard)
I have moved about 6 years worth of emails into the archive directory --
I presume exporting these out of Thunderbird into a searchable format (which one?) would help matters.
Alternative mail reader suggestions are welcome. I'm using gmail (
imap.googlemail.com) should I look at hosting my own email server? Digital ocean?
On a related note: is there a searchable online archive of luv-main posts?
The only thing I can find is this:
http://lists.luv.asn.au/pipermail/luv-main/
which doesn't seem very satisfactory. I was storing about 6 years worth
of luv postings but I deleted them in a vain attempt to rectify the above problem.
