Then there's the issue of the email client - I'm using Linux. I heard Thunderbird is a mess.
Sylpheed is so old.
Claws email is supposed to be better - but everytime after downloading email, it will lock up for a long time, while it's going through the filters.
With 120 thousand emails, and need for GUI / modern email client, it seems my options are ather limited.
Thinking of using Eudora with Wine.
Any ideas?
- Topgamer7 5y agoI think my thunderbird downloaded 50k emails via imap just fine.
- sufehmi 5y agoIMAP just download the index, not the content. When you click on an email - then it'll download that email. Attachment is also probably you have to click it too. That's just not feasible when you (turned out to have) nearly 150 K emails in your Gmail account.
- sufehmi 5y agoOK I found out a feature in Thunderbird called "Offline Work" - it seems to cause it to download the whole emails. Currently giving this a try, fingers crossed.
