I store mine locally because I search them when I run into a issue. I've got emails going back to 2006. Even if my internet is down, at least I can search old list emails to see if I can find a clue to fix what I'm running into. Of course when you do that, you run into this: root@fireball / # du -shc /home/dale/.mozilla/seamonkey/q6o6ulhz.default/Mail/ 3.9G /home/dale/.mozilla/seamonkey/q6o6ulhz.default/Mail/ 3.9G total root@fireball / # I use folders to filter my emails. Gentoo for example has a folder for each list, one for -user, one for -dev etc etc. Since most are text only, they are tiny things anyway. I also have folders for my financial stuff too. Few emails outside of spam stay in the regular inbox. Any email that doesn't end up in a folder is suspicious to me. I'd never click or tell it to show remote content on any email that is in the inbox. Rarely do it on one that is filtered. I switched from Kmail long ago. I can't recall what I ran into that made me change tho. Thunderbird is basically the same as I have now. I've read Seamonkey's email coding is the same as Thunderbird, just no browser part. Maybe that has changed. I dunno. I hope this is making sense. My eyes are having a rough day. The text looks like a blur. Can't read much of anything. :/ Dale :-) :-)
