True but how often does someone have to download 6000 messages ?
1000 messages ?
Speed is a barrier of adoption to some. If it took me hours to download
my mailbox the first time to try a new email program I would probably
give up, unless there was some promise of killer features I'd really
want to have.
Last time I tried to download 6000 messages it took me 18 minutes.
Also, I get a few hundred emails a day (I am on many mailing lists),
most of which I only need to scan the summaries to decide if I need to
read. In Thunderbird it takes just a few seconds to download all the
headers, and less than a minute for the anti-spam engine to download the
contents of all these messages to mark some as spam. This is all so fast
I don't generally need to think about speed. So I think that if some
email client took longer than a minute to deal with all that I would be
tempted to look for a faster client.
Agreed. I don't think that our mail client is slower than that.
Whether we pre-render the headers in Chandler before all the mail data is
downloaded and committed is unclear. (I doubt it).
