I always had horrible experience with thunderbird and any amount > 500 emails.
Thunderbird would start do it's things (moving emails for example) then freeze for a while and then all of a sudden stop in the middle of the operation complaining that it's a lot of work and asking me if I want to continue.
It's enraging every time. More so if you consider that IMAP is not transactional afaik.
- pstrateman 6y agoUnfortunately IMAP is basically entire ephemeral. The message IDs are mostly permanent, but the rfc says they can change so clients have to test them as per connection. This means every time you check your mail with an IMAP client it's syncing some of the headers for every message.
