<p dir="auto">Does that mean if we don't subscribe to huge folders we will be ok, even if we have a lot of them? Or is this more a function of the overall number of message in the account as a whole?</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm ok with the first, but I have at least one IMAP account that is huge.</p>

It never managed to show new messages consistently because of this.<br>

In the end I've settled with Spark which has decent smart folders and does not choke on the big inbox.<br>

The Preside dev is, indeed, extraordinarily helpful and responsive; but he also hints within Preside’s FAQ page about issues with mailboxes with massive numbers of emails. For example, in <a href="https://preside.io/faq.html#NotificationsTooLong" style="color:#777">https://preside.io/faq.html#NotificationsTooLong</a>: “One more thing that can help a lot is to keep your Inboxes clean. The app can check an Inbox with 50 emails a LOT faster than it can check an Inbox with 5,000 emails.”<br>
<br>
Of course, that reference is specifically about notifications, and thus perhaps unrelated to the issue mentioned here. Just FYI.<br>
