![]() Joe, how long have you used Gmail and Mail Together? Are you happy with Gmail as your server with Mail? Michael, of spam sieve, for example, says he hears lots of connection and other problems with Gmail and Mail, and recommends I find a better email server. If I could get Gmail to work nicely, I'll stay. I had to get a new service for email as my web hoster got so many complaints about email they forced everyone to find their own server and recommended Google apps, so I went with Google apps, but Micheal said it would be better for Mail users to be with Fastmail, and a few others instead. You think if I checked that, then I would be able to mark the Junk Mail as ok in Mail? Or does mail have it's own Junk mail algorhythm going? And do I need spam sieve? Google's Spam filtration is famous for being very good. That said, you are correct that because I use spam sieve (for many years), I think I have the setting to enable junk mail unchecked. ![]() This filter was causing unrelated havoc, (making emails copy to my inbox), so I deleted it, hence get more gmail (junk mail). But its ok and working on laptop sometimes.ģ) Yes I use spam sieve, Micheal gave me a filter to put in Gmail to not have emails go to the Gmail spam filter. I'm on Mail 9.2 OS 10.11.3Ģ) Right click to delete a folder, not working on Desktop, just does not delete. Go to your deleted items and click delete, or delete any message, command Z or Edit, undo delete message, not working. I figure I’ll have to restart Mail by Friday, when the new message count should be well into the 1000s.1) Just delete a message, and then do a command Z. Time Memory Private Memory “New Messages” count in Downloading message Watching more closely for a bit, I see that while the memory use trends steadily upward, it’s more of a sawtooth pattern.Īs for memory consumption, here is a brief log for the past 18 hours or so: I erred in saying “monotonically increasing”. ![]() TL DR - Real Private Memory increases along with total memory. Typically, though, I restart Mail prophylactically at about 750MB and all is good. ![]() Sometimes the entire machine is affected (requiring a reboot). What I’ve seen in the past is that when Mail’s memory use approaches 1GB, Mail becomes unstable in various ways. This becomes a maintenance consideration, and I travel quite a bit (often off the grid), making regular maintenance restarts tricky.ĭo you see any particular bad effects when it gets to 1 GB? Does the Real Private Memory (you may need to tell it to show that column) also increase like that? Frankly, I wouldn’t much care except for the apparent memory-leak issue. Mail and SpamSieve are operating as expected EXCEPT for the persistent “downloading messages” message.Īny additional thoughts / suggestions much appreciated. ![]() Re-started Mail (went fine) then re-added that account (went fine). The rebuild went fine after I deleted what turned out to be a problematic account (it’s “Spam” folder was apparently a mess, causing Mail to think that there were ~450,000 messages in there - there weren’t). No change to the “downloading messages” behavior. Okay, I sucked it up and re-built Mail’s databases from scratch. If the rebuild succeeds, you could then re-import them later. Another idea would be to export some of the mailboxes and then delete them from Mail, so that there’s less to rebuild. ![]()
