Neither is > "just upload it all to GMail and let them deal with it" Thunderbird i have *any* message i ever sent or received until now starting with 2003 in a folder-structure, search is full indexed and fast, eahc folder is one mbox and at the end of the day mbox is more effective than maildir 5 GB in 3379 files, this year around 100000 messages why mbox is more efefctive? if you at least have subfolders for each yaer you normally do not touch and change any previous ones - so they are unchanged and rsync is very fast because it transfers differences - i sync my complete prfile each day from my homeserver to my office wrokstation with rsync and it takes around one minute with *all my data* not only the mozilla profiles
