Local folders flooding LAN
Local folder looking to a shared directory in a server with archived messages. Around 2 Tb in different accounts/years. There are personal archive accounts and shared archive accounts for different workstations.
Thunderbird force to use only a main local folder. Then the only sollution is to control the access from all to the clients to the same folder giving or not read/rest permisses in the server to different clients/directories.
In theory goes fine. But starting each client the lan is flooded ( example 8.000 Mb per user in 30 minutes ) and continues. Seems that the first worst user one time finished, seems that don't restart the flood. But other yes.
Is this only a sync of server folders with the clients at first time, or will I have to enter in panic ?

I wonder if the overload is due to TB trying to index the huge Local Folders, either for Windows search or TB Global search. Disabling one or both of those may help.

You might also benefit by defining multiple Local Folders:

Yes, the key is the global index. The windows search was disabled. But disabling the global index the flood ends.
I will have to see if disabled could cause other problems or only few search ad-on options.
And very interesting the folders ad-on to don't be forced to store in 1 main folder.
Thank you very much.
You can exclude folders from global search: right-click a folder, Properties, and uncheck the box. I would rebuild the index after making such changes.
Edit/Find/Search Messages (Ctrl+Shift+F) and Quick Filter Bar (Ctrl+Shift+K) are other search options.
That's perfect. Thank you very much !!
