But both of those translate into performance improvements, along with all the other platform changes between 10 and 17.ClassicHasClasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331846076856918359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-49973160897289114752012-11-10T08:14:39.653-08:002012-11-10T08:14:39.653-08:00Kudos to the Tenfourbird builder(s) for making the...Kudos to the Tenfourbird builder(s) for making the jump to version 17. I think the memory footprint is probably bigger than it was for Tenfourbird 10, but it feels much more snappy to me. Search (filter) speed seems to be improved significantly. In limited use, it also seems like it might behave better with Gmail's IMAP servers. I've had minor issues with Tenfourbird 10 showing new messages in a mailbox, but not displaying (loading?) the body of the message until I switch to another mailbox and switch back. So far, I haven't run into this issue while using Tenfourbird 17.
