I wish I didn't have to use ThunderbirdI wish I didn't have to use ThunderbirdPosted Jul 25, 2006 5:29 UTC (Tue) by ringerc (subscriber, #3071)In reply to: I wish I could switch to Thunderbird by proski Parent article: Five Power Tips for Thunderbird (Summersault Weblog)
I'm only using Thunderbird for one reason: DECENT TLS/SSL support, including client certificates. This means it's actually viable for business mail. With evoluton, the only reasonable option is an SSH tunnel ... and that's not exactly ideal.
It's also nice that Thunderbird doesn't crash every 15 minutes and uses (slightly) less than a gig of RAM ;-)
Nonetheless, I share your incredible frustration with its inability to use IMAP `SEARCH' to do server-side searches across multiple mailboxes. I use Cyrus IMAPd which can do this very quickly and efficiently, and can maintain a search index for older messages, so thunderbird's search is not so great.

I wish I didn't have to use Thunderbird Posted Jul 27, 2006 2:32 UTC (Thu) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] This script limits evolution to the measly half gig:#!/bin/sh ulimit -m 524288 exec /usr/bin/evolution "$@"This way, if evolution gets "sick", it dies quickly and gracefully without hogging all memory and swap. This may work with Thunderbird too.
