Subject: Thunderbird on Windows
Hi All,

I'm considering moving to Thunderbird as my email client on
Windows. Currently, I'm using Eudora 4.2 (very old) and it has served me
well for many, many years. However, they're are some advanced features
that are getting a bit outdated with Eudora and the new versions of Eudora
are some kind of subscription based model, which I'm not fond of.

Is there anyone using Thunderbird that can attest to how well it handles
*HUGE* size mailboxes.
I have one mail box with approx 50,000 messages which is around 38Mb in
size. This is the largest, but I have several mailboxes all of which have
several thousand messages each.

Can Thunderbird handle this size without crashing? Does application
performance suffer with many larges mailboxes?
Since email is my life-blood, I must tread very carefully when upgrading
clients.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter
