In the bug cited, and in 378142, the developer said it should be 4GB, but all the reports were of 2GB limits. Again, that matches what I have seen consistently on many versions of Moz Suite/Thunderbird on many versions of Windows over years. I've never seen a folder larger than 2GB. Are you sure someone has confirmed a larger one? [[User:Guanxi|Guanxi]] 22:41, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Max folder size

Supporting Mozilla Suite & Thunderbird for several years on several versions of Windows, the max size has always been 2 GB. Right this moment I have a user with TB2 on WinXP Pro SP2, and he has hit the 2GB limit. Where does the article get the 4GB number? Guanxi 19:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Its based on several bug reports where one of the Thunderbird developers stated that the maximum folder size is 4GB unless the file system limits the file size. A couple of users have mentioned in the forums that they're using a 3GB inbox with no problems, and I vaguely remember somebody (was it ausdilecce or wintogreen?) writing a program to verify that Thunderbird could support a 4GB folder. If you create a thread in the Thunderbird Support forum with more details about your problem I'll try to help. Tanstaafl 22:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
