I know that feeling, Icedove was so to index my inbox, and even slower when it was all there! (5 years of gmail junk, 2089MB, 18542msgs, excluding stuff not in the "inbox"). > I now have chromium and claws at my beck and call. Man.. are they > ever fast. Claw mail is pretty dam fast, I havent bothered to learn the search function very well yet, but meh. And with the right plugins, from the repo, it does HTML email, and RSS like a champion. (and pgp of cause) And chrome/chromeium is so much faster than FF3.x that it hurts, hopefully 4.x fixes it a bit. > Just thought I'd make some noise and share, I feel so free. \o/ ------ Regards, Angus Hedger Debian GNU/Linux User PGP Public Key 0xEE6A4B97
