Interesting, I may try that. Not sure if it'll speed things up (I have
loads of old mail on my server which I connect to via IMAP). Got to be
worth a try though.

That's exactly my situation.  I've just had a bit of a purge, but even
so I still have in the region of 175,000 emails spanning seven different
email accounts on four IMAP servers, some of which go back more than
fifteen years.  When I get some time, I should probably rationalise
things a bit more.

Is there some way to tell Thunderbird that "most of the time if a
message is older than n days I probably won't care about it and
you can ignore it.  I may need to refer to it at some point though,
so I can't throw it away"?
