Wait a minute. People are talking about using maildir format instead of mbox format. Fine. But the original question was about local/offline storage, not the server storage. The server side in the original question was gmail+IMAP. Who knows what gmail does internally, but that does not seem relevant. How do I make Thunderbird use maildir instead of mbox for local/offline storage? I have never seen that option. .... maybe I misunderstood something, but I would love to see maildir used for local Thunderbird storage. Mbox is awful, for the reasons described by other posters. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
