Thunderbird just downloading two messages at the time?

Until now I used Thunderbird as my Gmail-Backupsytem on my laptop to have offline access to my mails. But recently it started that instead of downloading in one or two batches all new messages, it only would go for 2 messages at a time. Anyone with an idea what this is about?

Perhaps a limitation of Thunderbird not being able to handle the amount of messages to index (1,5 GB of messages, quite a few of them in there)? My other accounts work fine, it is just this one huge which does not work.

I rather have them in Thunderbird because I know I can export them, but then again, it is getting rather slow in there as well. Any hints appreciated :)

About

female. european. geek.

About Nicole Simon I love working with people and help them get successful, especially through the use of social software. Though I have been on the net for over a decade and have consulted SMB for years, I also understand the corporate side, as I have worked in a major corporation for 15 years.

If you need a name for what I do, I usually call myself a European New Media Specialist with a special interest in blogging, podcasting and second life. I also love to 'testdrive' products / concepts which is best described as Technology Implementation Analyst.

You can read more about me on my Xing profile or contact me for more information.

When I do interviews (mainly pre conference podcasts I put them up here: Bloxpert so I can seperate blog / podcast talk a bit more from the stuff here.

Useful Sounds is my personal podcast, and I also have a German blog. Living in Lübeck, Germany, a European point of view comes with everything.

Why ctbk? Smooth-tongued responses are for the timid ones, and if there are no challenges, there is nothing to gain either. :)
