The point of this bug is IMAP offline storage should be similar to 'cached data' - but, as I pointed out, this isn't entirely true. %AppData%, Desktop and MyDocs are the only folders I redirect.

(I even saw Outlook 2003 putting the pst file into local settings!) There should be a prefs option, by which each admin is free to decide whether they want to explicitly put the cache into the roaming profile. The default location of the cache should be in local settings, which I think would be what everyone expects. I second that its a good idea to separate config data (customizations) from cache-type data - as Jesper suggested in comment 12. F.i., they might not want to waste disk (and backup) space for cache data. Though (for instance in smaller businesses), administrators might not want to take that effort for some reasons.
I agree with Charles that in a "professional" environment, it might be good practice in a windows domain to redirect also the appdata folders. Just see how Firefox does it from bug 291033: That is a lot more data for me to take backup of, which could be avoided if Thunderbird's cache and index files were correctly stored in the Local AppData folder.įixing this bug shouldn't be very hard. Thunderbird currently takes up 72% of my Roaming folder after just installing Thunderbird 3 recently. Also the whole point of all of this indexing by Thunderbird locally instead of querying the IMAP server each time, seems to be to speed things up, and constantly transferring gigabytes over the network doesn't seem like it would help.Īlso for me as a private person this is annoying. Some even run the two on the same server, in which case you download gigabytes of data, just to upload it again to the same server. I don't know the average company, but at least the few companies I know about run their IMAP servers from the same server room as their file servers.
