I wish I could use Thunberdird. It grinds to a halt far too often for me. We have very large inboxes, so maybe that's a factor.



My Thunderbird profile folder is 22GB in size. I have hundreds of thousands of emails in it. The fact that it can handle all my large mailboxes is why I still use it.


If you are on Windows, the antivirus might have something to do. It used to be slow for me too but I added an exception and now it's really fast, or at least fast enough so I don't perceive any significant lag.


That's a good idea. It tends to lag when downloading messages.


It handles 150k messages in a folder without a sweat for me. Do you have more?
