In the past week or so, I have started to have a problem where
MM goes into a compute bound loop using 100% of a single core.
MM remains responsive to the keyboard and mouse, so I assume
that only a single thread is looping. After a short period of time
all of my accounts are marked “(unavailable)”. I can
manipulate messages locally, but any operation that involves the
server fails.
Restarting MM cures the problem for a while. I have not been
able to correlate any specific activity with this issue. I have
reproduced this on three different machines, though it happens far
more often on one than the others. The one that it happens most
often is a desktop that I leave running all of the time. It
contains all of my MM rules so all incoming mail is processed. I do
not have rules defined on the other Macs.
I am running 5819; macOS 11.4. I upgraded to this MM release
after the problem started to see if would resolve but there was no
change.
I attempted to enable logging using:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate LoggingEnabled -bool YES
But I can’t find where the any log file is created.
I rebuilt the database on all three Macs - no change.
I have a mix of iCloud, Google and Comcast mail accounts. I have
heard that iCloud has been having some server issues recently. Not
sure if this may be related.
Any recommendations for debugging this issue? Thanks.
