Tbird especially is very fond of trying to cache and index everything by default which on slow links (and I'm used to nothing else) can be crippling with big mailboxes.Configure cache in Preferences and configure Synchronisation & Storage in Accounts for each email account to less aggressively cache and sync all content from remote to local. You can also reconfigure each account to copy Sent Messages to a local folder instead of remote (all of which might be of direct use to Henry on holiday). Pretty much every variable can be tweaked in Thunderbird to suit all needs. I run Squirrelmail at home as well, but it's only my general users who access it - the only place I don't use the versatile Thunderbird is where I don't have a GUI to run it in. Regards
Synchronisation & storage was the answer, merci beaucoup Monsieur Meowski. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
