My Thunderbird 115.10.2 (64 bit) is lately running very slowly. Message content takes forever to show. Sometimes don't show at all. Sent messages take 20s to save.
I was thinking that my files were simply too large, so I erase everything before 2022-01-01. Where we are now:
Inbox 13,662 messages 3.0 gb All Mail 22,722 messages 5.8 gb Sent mail 5,175 messages 1.2 gb Important 13,093 messages 3.1 gb Other 4,700 messages (approx)
Questions: 1. Can I delete the "Important" messages, thereby perhaps freeing up 3.1 gb? In which case how do I do that?
2. Does this look like too many messages for TB? It's two and a half years worth. Like to keep it, but not at the expense of making the system so slow.
I have removed the databases twice and started with a new instance of TB, which is where we are now.
Thanks for any suggestions!
