Yesterday I migrated my email activities from Evolution to Thunderbird
after my Evolution setup had been non operational for 4 months.
Painful.
Fortunately, I use gmail as my mail server, so I accessed my several
email accounts via a web browser. Painful, but it worked.
Thunderbird is working OK, but I have 2 issues.
1. It is taking forever to download the emails from one of my gmail
accounts. When I Get Mail on that account, it comes back saying a
handful (8 to 20) emails are ready to download, downloads them and
then stops. If you check again, it gets another handful and stops.
And again and again.
I have several thousand emails to download from that account. Why
Thunderbird getting 200 emails at a time ? Is this a gmail problem or
a Thunderbird problem ?
2. I sort all my emails into local folders using filters. I have
created a half dozen filters, just like I would in Evolution, but they
don't seem to run. When I go Tools-> Message Filters-> Run Now,
nothing happens.
I have FiltaQuilla installed.
Any and all help on these issues will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
