I am using Eodora Open Source version. It endlessly reindexes the
folders. I never need to search through old emails, so hw can I turn
off this feature?
I read to go to tools>options>general where I did turn off one
function that seemed related but it still grinds away indexing.
I'm at a point where I may give up and find a different, simpler
program, but have used Eudora for decades.
TIA
Phil

Turn off "Global Search and Indexer" then re-launch the program.
You will notice that Thunderbird version 3.0 has many major issues,
and therefore so does "OSE 1.0," which appears to be not only the
first release (non-beta) of OSE, but also its final release.

Psst! Eudora 7.1.0.9 (for Windows) need not be replaced,
so long as you keep your own files (mail and settings)
away from "program files" areas of Windows (if you insist
on violating the latter then accept the unpleasant consequences,
just as you would have to if you insisted on driving your car
with an automatic parking brake engaged ;-)
Thunderbird itself has undergone many updates since the apparently
premature 3.0, although it's still a "basic black model T email client"
which depends on independent "add on" writers to add (and maintain)
some of what a better supplier should have built in -- no matter
what they do to it, however, its inner core remains what was once
called "Netscape Messenger," and it creaks like a wood-hulled ship
covered with new metallic paint ;-)
