Sorry for this gripe, it has being annoying me for years! Take a look at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74085 This bug took 4 years from the report to claimed fix. I need to try Thunderbird 1.5 to see if it is really fixed. (So much for Mozilla being more responsive to users than Microsoft!) Thunderbird may still be storing IMAP cache data in CSIDL_APPDATA instead of CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA which means users roaming profiles become huge. Thunderbird also lacks an option to delete locally cached copies of messages. Outlook Express uses CSIDL_APPDATA and CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA properly and has an option for deleting the locally cached copies of downloaded e-mails. I like Thunderbird much better than Outlook Express but have had to encourgae my users to use OE because of this problem. Follow ups should probably not go to the Samba list! Nick Hi, Nick is right ,big imap caching files reside in the profile too which can lead to problems, dont know if its fixed in Thunderbird 1.5 Regards -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
