performance issue (imap spool on san)

[Sebastian Hagedorn]

Hi,

let me start by saying that I'm basically always on high-speed Internet 
connections and keep my mailboxes relatively small. So I haven't had bad 
experiences with Thunderbird in that regard. I still don't use it, but 
that's not the issue here.

Well, you don't know Mulberry then. It has a GUI and is very adaptable to 
any kind of network situation and it doesn't cache anything! You do have to 
tweak it, however. It doesn't auto-configure, but there are *many* settings 
to play around with. Obviously that's both a blessing and a curse.

Unfortunately that's not saying much ... it's just too bad that the only 
decent IMAP GUI client isn't developed further. I have hopes for 
Thunderbird 2, but I have a feeling that I will continue to use Mulberry 
for a long time ...
