The number of messages in a folder is limited to 4 billion (2^32 in a 32bit counter). However, it didn't seem to effect auto-completion when composing a message.) It took a long time to switch to that address book or to switch between one of the normal cards and the one with a 4.2MB note. (One user reports a 4,265 KB address book of several contacts, including one with a 4.2MB note.
This can result in general slowness of Thunderbird, not just slow address autocomplete. The reason is that for every address book that gets used while running Thunderbird, all the contacts in that address book are loaded into memory and stay in memory. )Īlthough there might not be limits on the address book size or the notes section in a card, you may easily encounter performance problems when you reach several thousand contacts or have many large notes. Another has 90,000 addresses in one address book and the address book has become so slow it is unusable. (One user has 30,000 addresses spread across 63 address books. However, for large numbers of contacts at some point you should consider putting your contacts in an LDAP server instead. There is no known limit on the number of address books you can have or the number of addresses in an address book.
