<br>
As part of my configuration I have a number of smart mailboxes (e.g, A1) that I use to identify sets of messages. Next I have a number of other smart mailboxes that include in their conditions the use of the test (“is not in” A1).<br>
<br>
Benny says it’s the use of “is not in” that’s the issue. It manifests a “performance bug”. At least part of the issue is that MailMate is not particularly efficient about making that calculation. If I allow myself to be patient the “spinning beachball” does eventually complete, mostly in around 10-15 minutes but I have waited over an hour.<br>
<br>
Benny’s pretty sure there’s something else going on too. The primary point here is that this will not be an easy fix.<br>
<br>
The fix I have is really a work around. Step 1, don’t use “is not in”.<br>
<br>
Step 2, in the smart mailboxes I use to identify sets of messages, I added a rule to set a mailbox unique tag to messages in those mailboxes, e.g., the name of the mailbox A1. Then, in the mailboxes where I don’t want those messages to appear, I use the condition “Tags is not A1”.<br>
<br>
Works like a charm. No more “spinning beachball of death”. I am once again a very happy MailMate user.<br>
<br>
Benny is going to continue to study the issue and hopefully identify a way to be more efficient about calculating “is not in”.<br>
<br>
Thanks to all, especially Benny,<br>
