A large e-mail structure with many folders really slows down Thunderbird.

== A large e-mail structure with many folders really slows down Thunderbird. ==

I have my mail store on a W2003 server share. When starting Thunderbird scans all folders.

Using ethereal it shows that opening the mail store takes 6 seconds and around 9000 network packets.

Using ethereal is shows that moving a message of 10Kb takes 2 second 347KB of netwerk data and 740 network packages.

The scanning through all these small files is a very inefficient, risky and susceptible to integrity problems.

Using a database tools like SQLite could be a solution.
