I had to move off of Thunderbird because of my large mail storage. Once I got above 3gigs it didnt work well. 

Im using a POP down loading off the server. 

How do you open a 1.2Gig file? gedit cant do it.

This way when one of them screws up, which they do now and then, I can open my account in the other. This is important to me.  I like the integrated calendar with Evolution and it is fast to read mail. It is slow in it's rules and doesn't have the  "remove duplicate" messages that Thunderbird has.

I typed in mail and it shoes me 20 files with Anacron Jobs written on them. How do I switch to my evolution inbox?
