I dumped Thunderbird some years ago because I had accumulated 10 gb of email and it had slowed to a crawl. That, and the search wasn't very good.

My gmail interface has neither of those problems.

I would consider going back to Thunderbird because it pulls together multiple email account better than gmail does. But they've got to get a better underlying storage engine.

Vacuuming might help. And deleting old mail with attachments.

I don't want to delete old emails or old attachments, I just want them indexed for faster search.

The point is to have the archives rewritten, they may be fragmented.
