Every mailer has issues with bigger mailboxes. Outlook Express chokes on mailboxes with 1K-5K messages. Mozilla breaks on 2GB mailbox even when file system supports bigger files. Thunderbird needs lots of time to index mailbox and does not display progress indicator. > SM is so cool, and It will be so good to have SM handle quick such > mailboxes without restrictions. If you use standalone program as IMAP client, part of processing is offloaded to your client machine. Thunderbird can keep own message indexes. In SquirrelMail we can't do that, because PHP code is not as fast and efficient as command issued on IMAP server. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
