Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Thunderbird abnormally slow
In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Thunderbird abnormally slow, Bob...: I am still a happy user of Pine/Alpine for my mail (it is vastly faster than using clumsy Thunderbird), but it seems that support for Alpine is dwindling. Probably it lacks upstream developer support and security fixes. Eduardo Chappa seems to be the main person keeping alpine alive, but he's made many fixes and improvements. He's even added OAuth support, though I think it's only been tested against GMail at this point.

Thunderbird running on a Windows 10 system against my internal Dovecot mail server is astonishingly slow as if it is communicating over a serial port rather than direct Ethernet. It seems to be slow against other mail systems as well. This would be an example of a "latest" Thunderbird since it updates regularly. I have not updated OpenIndiana for some weeks, but the Thunderbird in OpenIndiana from that time is reasonably fast against my Dovecot mail server. Thunderbird under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS seems to perform ok.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Thunderbird abnormally slow
I don't know if either of those have an illumos related problems, but I've had both of those on Linux in the past. The opening of links was, on my system, related to the registered application used for browsing, and I believe I got that working by changing that setting in gnome, but I honestly can't remember the specifics. The compacting folders is set in the preferences, in the same area as the emptying trash. It's part of the server settings, rather than the application settings. If you need the specifics, I can boot up the old computer and check how to get to them?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Thunderbird abnormally slow
Hello, I updated my system a few weeks ago, and since that, thundebird became extremely slow, in particular if I try to follow a link . Did anybody else notice this and how can this be solved ? Also, Thundebird now compacts folders: is it possible to disable that feature: I'm not interested in saving a few gigabytes (my mail forders represent over 100 GB: I use them as document archiving system; but for me speed of access is more important than disk space usage) Thanks for your advice Marc ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
