I'm running Thunderbird 52.7.0 on 64bit Debian Linux with an SSD. I have 8 accounts configured in my client, and I would guess there are 200,000 to 300,000 messages in total across all of those accounts.
So my questions are:
- Is this indexing taking an expected amount of time? (about 12hours per 5,000 messages)
- Are there any options for controlling how indexing works? Can I temporarily disable it when I really need Thunderbird to perform well?
- Would there have been a better way of deleting 40,000 messages?
