Thunderbird sizing issues
With every release, Thunderbird has become better and better as a personal email client. But over the last few releases, it definitely feels like as its getting better at personal email handling its getting worse for mailing list traffic.
I am on a few lists ( 32 to be exact ) and a couple of them get loads of emails ( 150+ a day ), but even so why is thunderbird at almost 90% cpu usage with over 800MiB of ram used ? If I take away the mailing lists account and only use it for my personal emails things are fine. Thunderbird will almost never corss 12 - 13% cpu usage and rarely ever cross 200MiB ram usage. Its not that I dont get personal emails; I do get a fair bit - not including spam - about 400/day.
Someone please fix it!

Won't Evolution be better? I think you need to fire up a Win 7 VM and install Outlook 2010 and kiss all these issues good bye. ;)
PS - Like the new theme - less organgy - though I like Orange (hint: Ava logo) :)

Hi Amit,
Evolution's imap support has never really been all that great, besides it cant handle the amount of email that I get at all.
The one area where it really falls apart is when new email is delivered to multiple folders, and not just into the INBOX
