They've been using Thunderbird for some time and I'm finding the following issues there:
-searches across 2GB+ of mail are painfully slow, since it's all server-side
TB3 does solve this problem with gloda, which index everything locally.
-while the inbox is checked regularly and automatically, other folders are not unless the user manually checks them. getting tbird to do this involves a fairly non-intuitive process, and there's also the issue of making sure everyone actually adds the folders they need to watch
TB3 by default doing this if I not mistaken. (I've changed lot things in my config when was on 2.0)
-the client does not deal well with large amounts of mail in general - some operations give no feedback, like expanding large sub-folders or doing large copy/move operations. Activity manager in TB3 should help.
app and starting the whole process again. dovecot deals with this more gracefully than the old server (Courier), but it's still an issue -offline operation would be handy sometimes, but tbird has no "hybrid" mode, and again, one must select every folder for offline access
TB3 have offline mode enabled by default. What is hybrid mode?
