I'm a stickler for message formatting.
I'm curious as to how your message formatting get's to look like how
it's displayed above. I'm quite sure this was not your intention and
that you would have preferred if it looked like this:

Are you accustomed to hitting the return key thus creating your own hard
returns? This brings me to one of the reasons why I'm attracted to TB!
so much .... it doesn't reformat text upon sending, so the formatting
you see before you send, is the formatting the recipient will receive.
Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Calypso all suffer from the bad model
of wrapping text upon sending ... not while editing. This wrapping on
sending, oh so wrongfully, includes quoted material.
Anyway, to answer your question, TB! handles thousands of messages very
well, but its performance depends a lot on the performance of your hard
disk. I presently have 35,000 messages across 2 accounts in TB!. On my
older drive, TB! opened very quickly. Even though, you see the message
tallying going on (this takes a few moments), TB! is already downloading
mail. It's beautifully multi-threaded, you see. :=) I have a folder here
containing 7000 messages. When I opened it on my older hard disk, I had
to wait for about 5 seconds for the message list to appear. Now that I
have my new, faster hard disk, TB! starts even more quickly and the
folder message numbers are tallied almost immediately. The message list
of the 7000 message folders appears in less than a second. :=)
