Thunderbird just downloading two messages at the time?

Posted on July 8, 2007 under blog ,

 

Until now I used Thunderbird as my Gmail-Backupsytem on my laptop to have offline access to my mails. But recently it started that instead of downloading in one or two batches all new messages, it only would go for 2 messages at a time. Anyone with an idea what this is about?

Perhaps a limitation of Thunderbird not being able to handle the amount of messages to index (1,5 GB of messages, quite a few of them in there)? My other accounts work fine, it is just this one huge which does not work.

I rather have them in Thunderbird because I know I can export them, but then again, it is getting rather slow in there as well. Any hints appreciated :)
