[Chester LUG] VMware Show and tell

[Sebastian Arcus]

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird IMAP (not with Google mail) for about 4 
years now. Wouldn't comparing the number of emails present in the TB 
inbox with the ones in the Google inbox be a sufficient indication that 
the sync has finished? Also, are you using cached copies or not? If you 
don't absolutely need that feature, I would turn it off ("keep messages 
for this account on this computer", under "Syncronization and storage" 
in the account settings in TB). It will slow down the sync process 
considerably - as it downloads all the messages in their entirety. 
Without it - the syncing of the account should last few minutes max - as 
it only syncs the headers.

Hope the above helps,

Sebastian
