<br>
I am new to claws and my first impression about claws is very
positive. So I am tempted to move from thunderbird to claws.<br>
<br>
My main concern is performance honestly. I have roughly 130.000
emails stored in my thunderbird (pop3), including attachments. The
thundebird profile is about 16G in size.<br>
<br>
So I am wondering if claws can handle such large emails nicely? TB
slowed down heavily last months, so I am looking for an
alternative. As an example, just sliding through the offline
folders (not clicking into any of them) </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">results </font>in multiple-seconds of
screen-freeze.<br>
<br>
Claws/TB will run on a ubuntu-desktop, with 8GB ram and SSD as
storage. The number of emails to handle will most likely grow
further.<br>
related to this would be the question how fast the search-engine
will be. The reason for storing the emails is to search them. So
its crucial that claws is somewhat fast in searching such large
structures.<br>
<br>
<br>
any feedback or ideas to to handle this very much welcome<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
