This is surprising since we share the exact same mailnews backend code
as Thunderbird 3.0.

Yes, but the interface options/functionality between the two is
different - most notably in that I can drag and drop Account/NG
order in
TB, and I can't in SM. And I just discovered that in TB I can open a
tab for each server/subscription if I want, and those tabs don't close
at shutdown and the state is remembered at the next startup - I really
like that.
The only thing I've seen in TB 3.0 that I don't like so far is that the
Attachment icon in the message tray is displayed too small - but that
could be sufficiently addressed by making it scale in accord with the
user set height of the tray.
Function to the user makes all the difference - not so much what's
under
the hood. I'm becoming more inclined to start using TB more.
You can for get that tab thingy I turned that off ASAP. I hate tabs
worth a Passion. and the are memory wasters also.
...maybe that's a PC thing...I got no issues with memory and tabs on my
Macs...
I use a Mac as well I've even used a program built into the Mac OS that
monitors memory usage and over the years I verified that every time a
new tab is opened more memory is used.
Yes, Phillip, I think that has been stated, here, before. Anew Tab
*WILL* use more memory.
As an experiment, open your home page and use your Mac OS memory monitor
program to see how much memory is in use.
Now open a new *TAB* and go to another of your favourite pages. When it
finishes loading, check the memory usage. Close this Tab.
Open a new Window a go to the same favourite page. When it finishes
loading, check the memory usage. Close this Window.
Compare the results.....which uses the more memory, a new TAB or a new
window??
(Sure, after you've downloaded the favourite page into a TAB, when you
then load it into a new Window, SM will just get the page contents from
the Cache, so it will display much quicker, but that's not what we're
testing here, are we??)
