What is the maximum number of messages/files that Thunderbird can handle?

I plan to migrate from Outlook (2007) to Thunderbird (on a PC MsWin7 - Ultimate 64-bit). Unfortunately, I have a lot of historical emails that I still have and periodically reference; Currently, these are several PST files. Reading some of your prior support questions, I discovered that Thunderbird use monolithic mail a database, apparently mapped in the structure of normal file/folder of the operating system (i.e., anything that the user selectable, as supply of PST files); but that Thunderbird will suck in all messages from Outlook PST files during installation, assuming that all of him are open at the time of the installation of Thunderbird (?).

QUESTION: Which is the case, is there the ALL LIMITS on the number of files or messages that Thunderbird can handle?

No, I really am aware, other than the available disk space on the computer.

The limit of 4 GB (per folder) on local files was lifted, but I don't know that I hope the fix. SO think 4 GB as a limit on the size of the folder.

I'm not aware of any practical limit to the number of accounts. I've heard hundreds and dozens of personally.

I guess that the file system file size limit still applies, but because it is in windows 7 from 16 to 256 TB in Windows 8, I don't think it's really a matter of concern. (I have not heard a single hard drive this size still).

With optional mailDir structure to store messages in Thunderbird 38 (a mail a file), then even this limit is theoretical, otherwise than for the overall index and the index file. Note that this is an option for 'New' accounts, those not imported and is not the default.

  • Y at - it a maximum size of practical files that Acrobat can handle?

    I tried to do a file-> open a 81 MB HTML file in acrobat to convert it to PDF format and the file-> open ran for hours and then Acrobat finally generated an exception request error and crashed.

    It's not what I asked. I don't need to know what size a pdf file that can be created. And the wire that you posted the link says the maximum 10 GB. Acrobat supposedly has the ability to convert a HTML file to a PDF file. I need to know what is the biggest size HTML file Acrobat to open for the purposes of conversion to PDF? As I said, I tried to get Acrobat to open a 81 MB HTML file, for purposes of conversion to a PDF file (I had not yet started the conversion process I was just trying to do a file-> open a HTML file), and after sitting there trying for a few hours, Acrobat finally crashed. So, I need to know how do I get Acrobat to convert this HTML file to a PDF file... or maybe it is simply unable to do so.

  • HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14-n001: what is the maximum amount of RAM is my laptop can handle?

    Hello community!

    I want to upgrade RAM my computer but I want to know how much he eligible to upgrade? Here is my computer

    Thank you!

    Ok. I'll try to explain it.

    The way it works is that there is more than a chipset that controls what you can do with a PC or laptop.

    Companies like HP, ASUS, Dell and others, use a chipset reference design provided by AMD or Intel, and decide what will be the limits.

    Not all parts or function of the chipset are used.  The featureset to a motherboard or an office depends on which segment of the PC market or laptop a systemboard or motherbolard is designed for.

    Entry level laptop or a desktop PC will certainly not all the characteristics of a high level product.

    The physical limits are coded in firmware BIOS by engineers and specific features are used or left out.

    If you have done your due diligence research and found somewhere that people have upgraded the same 16 GB laptop and it worked. then you can go to 16 GB. Otherwise, I recommend that you believe that what has been said here, as I've used HP publications which were written specifically for the series of model of your laptop as my source of reference. The choice is always yours.

  • What is the maximum number of supported in a PDF document hyperlinks?

    What is the maximum number of supported in a PDF document hyperlinks?

    How will I know how many hyperlinks, there is in a PDF document?

    There is no limit per document. Links (with hyperlinks to URLS) are not stored all together, but stored for each page. There is no limit per page either but I would begin to worry about performance if there is more than 100 per page.

    Just for fun, I checked how many links there are in the PDF file, I use most often (of about 6000 pages). ; There are 52 000 links inside.

    What is the maximum number of characters that a 2D barcode can have with the symbology PDF417 Matrix? How to solve the problem of code bar having too much data? I'm incorporating data of the bar code under a button field. But when the data is large, the problem occurs.

    Apparently the theoretical capacity of the PDF417 barcode is 1850 characters or numbers in 2710. Of course, the actual capacity depends on the size - more square inches, more data. But before the theoretical limit, that you can reach practical limits in scanning technology so test carefully with all models of planned barcode scanner.

    I had a look at highs of configuration in http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_40_config_max.PDF , he lists100 in the section of SMI-S

    SMI-S section list max number of ESX host as 100, although it is 300 in the maximum of vcenter server. Should I look for in the section of SMI-S?

    Only if you plan to use SMI - if she does not go with the maximum rates for vCenter - and you are correct to look at the number of hosts since it is the ESX hosts that communicate to the SAN not vCenter-

  • What is the maximum number of files that I can place in a subfolder in FAT32

    FAT32 maximum number of files in a folder

    The maximum size of a directory of FAT32 is 32-bit 65536 entries. A file it will take at least 2 entries according to the length of the file name. Long filenames are stored in 16-bit UNICODE characters, and only thirteen characters are stored in the directory entry.

    Big directories should be avoided for performance reasons. For example, adding a file requires all existing entries to be analysed in order to avoid duplicates.
