Re: Editing a 2GB+ file

With regard to large mailboxes in Thunderbird, there is an addon called
Attachment Extractor which will remove all the inline binary files which
Thunderbird stores with mail. I reduced a mailbox from around 50M to
about 6M recently using this.
Regarding its awfulness or otherwise, I have found it satisfactory over
the last three or four years but I also found that you do need to put
some work in to get it to operate how you want.
