Goodevening, I've just downloaded thunderbird for Windows (Windows 7 Pro 64x) to move my old account e-mails to my new one. I succeded configured my new account (iCloud - IMAP), but the old one (outlook Office 365 - POP) shows me an error when it tries to download the 16.000 e-mails, saying that the inbox folder is full and I have to try to compact that, but it is always been empty! I really need to configure the old account with POP, but I can't do that with this limitation. Is there a solution to remove space limitation to thunderbird? Thanks,

Alessandro

Thank you, man! So Daily is a sort of Beta? Now the program is downloading my loads of e-mails!

Far more bleeding edge that that. It is a developer build, usually stable but not for general use long term.

In this case it has the 4Gb limits removed and the changes a recent enough not to have made it to either early bird or Beta.

Once your mail is downloaded, split the folders over 4Gb into two and downgrade back to a release version. (Just a matter of starting really unless you uninstalled. Nightly and release are two different programs as far as windows is concerned.

I might be prepared to put up with buggy add-ons and occasional failures to start, but I do not expect you would be to happy with it going forward. hence use the release version once you get the chance to reduce the size of the relevant folders.
