Hi Doug,
On 17 November 2000 at 22:34:39 +0000 (which was 22:34 where I
live) Doug Weller wrote and made these points:

Version 1.42 (IIRC) saw a radical improvement here. I try to keep
folders down to 1500 messages for quick access and around 18000 for
archive. Above that the folders do get quite slow. In total I have
more than 74000 messages in my mail base.
In terms of loading time, it can take a fair few seconds to open and
initialise the folder tree for me. OTOH TB's multi-threading approach
means that the software is up, running, reading new mail and ready to
use well before that particular job has completed.
A word of caution for you here Doug: the biggest negative point in TB
in terms of culture shock must be the insistence on fixed pitch font
and "free caret" edit interface. I like 'em. Many don't. (hey - no
"holy war" rekindling here gang - it's a DEAD HORSE before it starts,
okay? <g>).
