Hi Jon,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with Thunderbird. I am almost
finished moving my email, address books, etc., out of my old
Win2K/Mozilla-suite system and onto my newer (if unremarkable)
Ubuntu 10.04/Thunderbird system. Like you, I have a lot of email
that goes way back that I wanted
Hi Jon,
Sorry to reply twice, but I found these two comments on Slashdot:
The problem is Mork. It's a stupid old database that Mozilla products
are saddled with. When you have a big one, the whole damn thing needs
to be loaded into memory to be parsed. Big folder? Bam, there goes a

I use mutt at home because I ssh to home a lot. At work, I use Evolution.
I moved to gmail for most personal use.

In 3.1 there's an Archive-function, test if that helps.
Or maybe the SmartSave-plugin could help you as well:

Yes, this has been turned off on Ver 3.x, but there is no such option on

No way! I back it up to DVD with everything else on my system, and it
all fits on one DVD,
without compression (just barely). So, it is maybe 650 MB now, for the

Yes, I do this. I think even Netscape could do this, but certainly TB
can. I set up a

John,
I'll second Andy's recommendation of gmail, and try to address some of your
concerns. I am a recovering Unix geek. I worked in the tech industry during
the dot com boom. I am know longer in the tech business, but I am still a
geek at heart. I never dreamed I would switch from a real email
I use Gmail, even for corporate e-mail. It really is a good client. All my
private mail goes via Gmail.
Though, I have to be a part of an Exchange-based office, and then
Thunderbird is the best client. At least if you ask me. :)

If you decide to go with Gmail, you can have Thunderbird see
it as just another mail account and download messages as
they come in - that's what I do with my Gmail account - and
with my free webmail accounts at mail.com which allow you to
choose from a whole load of domain names ... I have one

I don't think there's a better client than Thunderbird for Linux. I used it
at the job I just got laid off from and it was great. But at home, I just
use gmail because it makes so many things easy.
I read Usenet via google groups, which is suboptimal but I don't spend much
