Feature Request: Folders for Mails with Variable Loading Policies

AyeJay —Wed, 04/20/2016 - 10:32

Hi,

as I have lots of mails in SimpleMail collected in the many years I am using this proggy, which I don't want to loose I have a wish to ameliorate the performance of SimpleMail.

Therefore I would like to have some folders with an archive feature, which means that their contents are NOT INCLUDED or OPENED immediately at start-up of SimpleMail. Only upon separate and distinct manual request, those folders will be opened and their mails are included to the already accessible mails of the other non-archive folders.

I think, this would be advantageous for a faster start-up of the program.

When you have thousands of mails, it may take a long time, to open SimpleMail, this is at least my experience, my notebook is somewhat lazy, may be... :-(

I could also think of a hierarchy of folders, concerning this opening procedure, ideas and propositions are always welcome!

Also not only concerning this initialization procedure, other relations and functions may be of interest also, e.g. connected to their accounts and its operations.

Please let me know, what you think about that.

Thanks!

I have multiple accounts: FIVE (5) exactly,
and also arranged in many folders (more than 30) and subfolders (3 levels, about 20 subfolders altogether)...

Wherefrom can I get/find/count the number of all my emails, is there a hidden feature?

I am estimating: it will be more than 2-3 THOUSEND emails...

The startup time varies, depending on various circumstances: browser opened since a longer time, free memory i.e. many other programs running, besides FF.

From 2-3 minutes up to (sometimes) even 10-15 minutes, with 100% CPU-load.

Kind regards

AJ

Wow, it's really long. You mean browser opened 2-3 minutes(10-15) or only SM opened 2-3m(10-15)?
And do you use last version? (v2.89)

I am still on Windows XP, my Simple Mail version is the latest, but I see a completely different list of choices when I go there.

What is going on here?

To answer your question:
SM opened ...

Because you push another button. Button in folders list, not in messages list

Ah, I see - SILLY ME.

Grrr... well the total number in Inbox is 5182,
which means all the received mails ever, I suppose.

In Sent there are 836 mails, which means all the ever sent mails.

There is no OUTBOX, and there is no RECEIVED - which terms would be the respectively synonyms for the always correct opposite, thinking more systematically - purely academic, I know.

Which means summa summarum there are 6018 emails which are handled in the folders at startup time of my SimpleMail.

Am I right?

A bit too much. I try to reproduce this and think about what we can do

Test results: 7k mails showed immediately (or wth delay in 1 second)..

So.. I have the one advice now - VACUUM base:

close firefox
go to folder: profile\simplemail\
remember size of simplemail.sqlite (post size here)
backup this file
open firefox
open simplemail
go to settings and set setting - "clean database on exit"
close simplemail tab, BUT not close firefox
wait... until VACUUMING is finished
check simplemail.sqlite size (compare with backup size and post here)
restart firefox and check how long simplemail loading now?

Thanks for answering.

I will do as advised and report here...

But to compare in a meaningful manner we should also know what our hardware features are!

I have an old notebook (an IBM Thinkpad T 34) with an INTEL mobile Pentium M processor (1,73 GHz), clocked with about 795 MHz, the main memory has 1,5 GB RAM.

My Disk is of the IDE-Type with 6 GBytes.

Operating System is MS Windows XP (industrial license, i.e. still receiving updates and malware protection!

Altogether sufficient for what I do, writing, mailing, browsing with FF V42.02.

But not sufficient for a JS program such as SimpleMail, I fear.

Yes, I understand this. But I checked on VM with xp and with 512 mb RAM and it's work not so slowly.. So we need report

Cool, it's something like Windows Embedded or Windows Embedded POSReady?
