 If only this was true!

 Sorry for this gripe, it has being annoying me for years!

 GRIPE
 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!

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

agreed - like Outlook, Outlook Express you can store the profile in the
users home directory instead though or use redirection.
