| Author/Date | iScribe is too slow on big mailboxes. Can I do something? |
| JohnFound 06/02/2012 5:37am | When my mailbox grows in size (1000 letters and up) the first time operations becomes really slow. I mean loading the mail lists. It is real pain to wait 10..20 seconds for 2000 letters to be loaded. During this processing iScribe loads the processor to 100% (well actually 50%, but it is hyper-threading CPU) and the application stops responding.
What I can do about this issue? Is it a bug, or intentional for the free version of the mail client? Regards. |
| fret 06/02/2012 8:11am | Which version?
What mail store version? (Go into File -> Manage Mail Stores or File -> Options, Look for folders.mail2 or Folders.mail3) |
| John Found 08/02/2012 1:03am | v2.00 beta 34
.mail3 mail store. |
| fret 08/02/2012 9:31am | Ok I know what you mean. There is probably a few things I can do to improve the speed but it's somewhat limited by the speed of the sqlite database code underneath. I've been using IMAP mostly for the last year, so I don't notice as much. |
| John Found 08/02/2012 11:16am | I made some tests. "select * from Mail where ParentId=11" (my "Spam" folder) returns 8431 records in 3sec.
i.Scribe shows these messages in more than 10sec. (and BTW, in order to show the list of messages it does not need to "select * from Mail" but only needs part of the fields which is faster. Regards. |
| fret 08/02/2012 11:44am | That's good to know. Thanks. |
