MailMate very slow performance when expunging messages

Reported by nall | January 20th, 2014 @ 10:45 PM

I have a smart folder that contains ~8k messages. When I select all and Opt-Delete to expunge them, it takes far far longer than I would expect. It's currently been going about 4 minutes and there are 6600 left.

I would expect this operation to complete in a number of seconds (a minute would be a really long time). My fans are spinning up and the process consumes all of the CPU during this time.

Do you agree it's something that should complete much quicker than I'm observing?

    Yes, it should be quicker, but it's not something I've tried myself recently. The slowest part should be deleting the messages from the database indexes. You can sample the process to give me an idea of what is slow. You can do this using the Activity Monitor in /Applications/Utilities/.

    Thanks. It looks like MailMate is spending its time updating the GUI. I'll see if I can reproduce this issue.

    Did it eventually complete the action without problems?

    Yes, eventually it completes. Even after I 'Force Quit' MailMate the messages were red upon restarting and eventually were removed.
