How do I change "load up to 1000 more" to "load up to 100* more", and will loading 1000 more actually slow Thunderbird down? *100 (for example).

TB crashed so I uninstalled/reinstalled it. As part of the reinstallation, I selected the "load more" value as 1000 more. This was done rather casually and without any consideration. Afterwards, I thought perhaps this might slow Thunderbird down. Is that true? And how do I change "1000 more" to some other value? I've searched extensively but can't find a solution anywhere. Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian

The developers found that performance begins to degrade noticeably once the value exceeds 500.

The value can be changed from settings > account name > fetching mail > local folder size.
