Hi,
I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Dell i5 w/ 8gb ram, Thunderbird 24.4
and KMail 4.13.
I was running Thunderbird and had problems removing 200 emails at a time
when there was a lot of them, say 15,000 in the folder. My old slow Win
7 laptop had no problem removing several hundred at a time. I actually
had to use my laptop to deal with removing emails.
Today I was unable to send email because Thunderbird said it could not
write to the sent folder. Nothing had changed as far as I know. From
searching I found this was a problem with version 17. Server time out
errors have been a problem today also.
I was thinking that moving to KMail might be better. Not a complete
fix. I have an email account that has almost 12,000 emails in the
inbox. It pulled in the headers, but not the bodies. When I go to am
email that is dated before today it take 10 - 20.....30 or more seconds
to retrieve the body.
Maybe my expectations are out of line.... I was thinking things should
work faster given the power my machine has and that I am on a high speed
connection. Speed has been an issue for a while... since switching to
Linux.
Mail is much more responsive on my laptop running Win 7 with a much less
powerful CPU, slower HD and 1/2 the ram. I'm puzzled as to how that
could be.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith
