Which particular functionality of thunderbird is slow?? Are you poping or imaping? Is this what is slow? Have you updated to latest release? Some release had a few issues, that were fixed later. Daniel. On Sat, 03 Jan 2015 14:09:36 +1100 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. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
