Hi. Probably deleting the database space. I heard someone say that it might
do it.

Hi Kyrstin, paul and all.
This morning I had 283 messages in my inbox. I deleted about 20 email the
usual way, (pressing e plus space, and move to the trash folder) then,
becoming impatient, I marked all the rest and chose "delete from this
folder" option. I waited, then waited some more. After about 20 minutes
I had deleted 19 messages. That's almost 1 email per minute. So I came
all the way out of the email menu and responded "yes" to the question
about emptying the trash can. This took about ten minutes (so we're now
processing about 30 emails in ten minutes (a better average, but no cigar
yet). Then I went back into the email program, chose setup options and
chose "free database space". It took about three minutes to free the
database space. Then I went back into the inbox, marked the other 253
messages and chose "delete from this folder" once more. This time it took
four minutes to delete all my email. Now, that deserves the cigar.
Somewhere in all this superstitious behavior of mine, I hit on a lucky
combination of events. Could some techie type person from PDI please tell
me which of all this flurry of activities caused the "move to trash"
process to speed up, and why?
Please enlighten us?
Thanks,
Bob

>Hi Paul,
> In my experience, if I open a folder like the InBox, and move one
message to the Trash folder, it will take some time. This happens not
only when moving, replying or forwarding an email right after the folder
containing it is opened. But when I do the same to the next emails in
that folder--delete, move, reply or forward--it will not take as long.
> So I move to the Trash one email as soon as I open the InBox--the
command is CONTROL with 8 or BACKSPACE with dots 2356--and then I mark
the rest that I want to delete--the command for marking is CONTROL with
SPACE or SPACE with m--then I execute the delete command to move all of
them to the Trash. Since this is not the first time I executed a command
in the folder, the messages are deleted faster compared to what happens
if I marked all of them before using the command on just one email first.
> If I mark ten messages right away, then moving them to Trash takes
about 3.5 minutes. If I delete the first one only, it takes about 30
seconds; and when I mark the other nine and delete them as a group, it
takes about 30 seconds also--a total of roughly just one minute. I
wonder if this will work for others as it does with me. In summary,
delete only one email first, then mark the others you want to move to
Trash and execute the delete command.
