First, thanks to Guillaume Barrette for the article plug elsewhere in 
this thread. :-)

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 
https://preside.io/faq.html#NotificationsTooLong: “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.”

Of course, that reference is specifically about notifications, and thus 
perhaps unrelated to the issue mentioned here. Just FYI.

Best wishes,
