I've been using thunderbird for a LONG time. But, recently I just didn't bother to install it right away on my new W7 install.
Then Thunderbird 3 came out.
So, i went to install it yesterday, and it installed fine, I put in my gmail account info, and it worked.
It then began importing all 20k emails i had in my inbox, most of which have picture attachments because of my graphics design work. It started to just eat up my hdd space until i literally ran out of space. I couldn't find any settings to make it not do this. Are there settings for that? I'd like to have the past.. 30 days or so, but not the past 3 years.
Also, i uninstalled Thunderbird, but it's still holding the emails somewhere on my PC because my hdd space didn't become greater when I uninstalled it. I really need that space back because on this laptop, it's only got IDE, and larger IDE drivers are harder to find.. i was lucky to find this 80gb.
So, any ideas on how to get it not to import all my emails, and 2, to remove the 20k it's imported and are somewhere on my hard drive?
Thanks!
