Shredder the Heavy

So I started using Thunderbird (to be exact, I use its 3.0 nightly build called 'Shredder'). After using it for a day I'm not going to use it again.

My computer is really, really sluggish and old. Shredder was quite heavy on my machine (Mobile AMD Duron 4, 1.30GHz 992mb RAM) so I've decided to try it again when I get a new computer--in the extremely far future. Meanwhile I downloaded my entire Inbox with Shredder so at least I have an offline copy of my emails.

No More Mr. Web Mailer

That Google Account incident made me download Thunderbird and use it to download my entire Gmail inbox to my computer using Gmail's IMAP service.

That's a lot of messages to download, but I think it'll be worth it. Plus--it's only once.
