Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird is really Groovin'!

[Peter VÃgner <peter v datagate sk>]

Hello,
I am sorry to ask this but...
I do also like the thunderbird very well. Unfortunatelly I have first 
tried it under windows.
Before a while I was using Ubuntu 8.10 with thunderbird 3.0 beta. And 
when I had a lot of posts displayed in the message list Orca's 
responsiveness while navigating in that list was close to catastrophic.
I think 1500 emails or more is very noticeable though I have much more 
mails in my gmail inbox. For this reason I am unable to fully take 
advantage of it.
I haven't bothered to check the current state for several months now. 
Can anyone please tell me if something has been changed in this regard?
