[Tfug] Need a mail app for LARGE volumes of mail...

[Andrew Ayre]

 From this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Limits_-_Thunderbird

"The maximum size of a folder is 4GB unless the file system limits the 
maximum file size to a lower value. Its not clear why 4GB was chosen as 
the limit, though that is the maximum file size in FAT32."

Anyway, can't you use a filter in Thunderbird to automatically sort your 
imported email into more than one folder? I would have thought you could 
do it based on date range or something like that.
