Hi, let's ignore the dependency tree and optional dependencies and just take a look at the direct hard dependencies of a distro, that doesn't split software from upstream into several packages. Assuming the packagers of your distro aren't idiots, they compile against the appropriate dependencies, so regarding the versions of the dependencies there aren't issues, as long as the official repositories follow a reasonable policy. I don't use Thunderbird, but Sylpheed, Claws Mail and Evolution.

Sylpheed, Claws and Evolution all use their own directories to store emails, while only Claws and Evolution handle the same POP servers to send and receive mails + they don't use the same bogofilter as Sylpheed does and only Claws from Arch and Ubuntu completely share all folders. I never experienced that one MUA affected the other MUA, the only positive impact is, that they share bogofilter, this has got no negative affect. I could imagine one issue. I'm doing everything manually, IOW I don't automatically send queued messages and I don't automatically retrieve messages, so there can't be any conflict. I guess if different MUAs should access the same server at the same time, this anyway shouldn't cause an issue, but you never know. >The worst side of the problem is that I don't find warnings or >comments or anything indicating any error.

Open a terminal and launch evolution from there. evolution For posting purpose (at https://pastebin.com/ or similar) you could redirect all output to a log file. evolution > /tmp/evolution.0.log 2>&1 >My backup is about 4.2 GB big (just emails), is that getting to the >core of the problem? It shouldn't be the culprit. I could imagine that an advanced search could become an issue, but it shouldn't affect general duty.
