very unresponsive/high CPU usage for over half hour
Reported by Jason Davies | February 6th, 2013 @ 07:49 PM
Mailmate updated itself and began synchronising with an Exchange-IMAP server. This is a trial run of Mailmate and I put a lot of emails (perhaps 3-4,000?) into the archive from a Mailsmith filestore on another machine since I last launched on this machine.
Mailmate seems to be updating this large number of records. The
issue is that it's virtually unresponsive while doing so. On a Mac
Pro 2.8 GHz quad-core with an SSD start up (I'm very impatient!)
it's using around 100% CPU (as reported by Activity Monitor) and is
unusable (clicking on a mailbox brings that to focus after about
4-5 minutes at the most). Is there a way to use it while it does
this updating in the background? I can spare the CPU but would like
some responsiveness;)
Thanks.
Sample attached in case it's any help.

First, sorry for the late response.
That does sound much slower than it should be. How many messages do you have on this machine already? (The everything-is-a-smart-mailbox design of MailMate means that adding new messages is slower when the number of messages increases.)
Do you have any advanced/extensive usage of smart mailboxes? Maybe send the following file with private email (http://freron.com/contact):
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Mailboxes.plistWhen I have time then I could try to reproduce the issue. You'll have to be patient since I'm on a one-month vacation.

Hi Benny
I hope you enjoy/ed the vacation;)
I'm afraid that by the time I got this (which arrived while I was also away) I had significantly changed the mailbox structure. Mailmate settled down when it had got a lot of the archive (about 25,000 messages, very roughly) and began being usabel again. That took about an hour or two. I also suspect the Exchange-IMAP server was not helping and giving timeouts (people have been complaining about this recently).Sorry that's not much use as a report, I know. I can send the plist next week when I'm back home if you still want to try it. I think it was the Archive folder that was updating and monopolising the CPU so maybe it will be of some use...

I won't be back until March 8th. I'm actually writing this while being offline since the wifi at our current guest house (Krabi, Thailand) seems to not work today.
If you had any custom smart mailboxes then you are welcome to send the plist.
