Yes,  that's  a  good  idea, and something I've been thinking about as well.
Let's  face  it,  when  TB  closes it could cache the last totals so when it
opened  it  wouldn't really need to do a recount. I have a fair few messages
as  well and the folder reading time on start annoys me as well. I'm using v
2.11.02 of TB! on W2K.

Have you installed any plugins? remove plugins, TB might speed up.

 That's very little in the TB scheme of things. I have a main account
 with 170k mails and an archive with 270k mails. I have *folders*
 containing 25k mails.

Did you try a folder with more than, say, 32k mails? Performance gets
very poor for me then, independent of the machine I use (I have two
very different machines, but both show the same symptoms starting and
about 30k-35k mails).

Agreed - I top folders out at around 20k mails as a maximum. I use
purging and Alternate Delete to keep folders to a reasonable size and
maintain a timely archive.

My TBarchive folder currently has over 43000 e-mails, no problems

Of course keep it well compressed.

They are not menu options. You can configure a folder's delete
options in its properties. There is a panel there to configure
Alternate delete methods. This allows you to specify the movement of
messages to a named folder (in my case, a folder in a special account
called Archive) and to use the alternate delete method when purging
the folder in question.

Do a search on your drive for Bat! temp files left behind in some (perhaps
unknown) circumstances).

Search for *bat*.*tmp*

Bat! came to a slow death from me, 100% cpu usage; I found 38,000 temp
files! Deleted all these, now everything is fine again.

YMMV

TB getting slow, taking lots of memory (with lots of emails in store)

2004-09-17 Thread Jack
I have about 25k emails in about 20 accounts. I notice that
it's getting slower and slower to start TB, or open a account/folder
with a large number of emails. And lots of HD readings are involved when
opening the heavily populated folders. I'm running a P3 800MHz. TB is
taking from 70MB to 140MB memory constantly, always at the top in
Task Manager if sorted against memory usage.

Does this happen to other users, too? I'm a little concerned as
the number of emails is ever growing and my PC gets less and less
usable as long as I keep running thebat. Soon I'll have to have a
dedicated PC for reading emails.

I'm using 2.12. I hope TB will come up with a solution that accesses
HD and uses memory in a smart way to make the footprint minimum.

The answer to folder access speed is usually regular maintenance -
compress those inbox, outbox and sent folders regularly.
