I use Seamonkey (2.0.13) to check several mail boxes. I've used this
software since before Moz Suite supported tabbed browsing. My point is,
I have a lot of email. And I like SM but it's crawling. I've compacted
all the folders, but changing from one account or folder or email to
another takes 5 to 10 seconds sometimes, rarely even more. Frequent
pauses in composing emails happens as well.

A couple POP accounts have about 2000 messages, another has 7K, and my
main POP account has about 14k. I delete junk and unimportant messages
such as list email, so what is left is mail I wish to have for search or
archive.

Am I seeing expected behavior for the size of mailboxes I have? If not
what can I tune? If not, how can I archive mail older than a certain
date in a manner that I can quickly/easily get to it for search? TIA!


Mike, I have about a dozen additional folders on my Mail account into
which I drag-and-drop my mail, e.g. 2011_Family, 2011_Jokes, 2011_Linux,
etc.

Then, on New Years Day (or there-abouts), I move all these folders onto
my Local Folders account, and give myself a new set of folders on the
mail account.

Using Local Folders means all my mail is with-in easy reach.

...and I use the Global Inbox (Inbox on Local Folders) but I don't keep mail there: I have filters to sort "repeat mail" to separate folders (e.g. anything from [email protected] goes to a "Mozilla bugmail" folder); when it's harder to automate I move them about manually, and of course there's the Junk folder for spam. The result is that at the end of the day my Inbox folder is empty.

Best regards,
Tony.
