Hi Bill,   Thanks again for your help! Regarding the rules that apply tags, actually I had one for each emails that added a tag to each new email and that were changed at a later time by a Google Apps Script. I now removed them and removed the script. I'll see if this changes something

Just a follow up - having run MailMate for about 18 hours with Activity Monitor open, I’m showing 1 MB sent and 20 MB received. Not a huge email day for me, but that’s like three orders of magnitude less than what you’re seeing. I think there’s something screwy going on with your setup.

Hi Bill, Actually, if you open Activity Monitor, you will see it starts at zero and then augment and if you restart it it restarts. With that, I'm watching it during the day and see that the download count raise little by little. For example, I restarted Activity Monitor this morning (a

Hi all! First, thanks Travis, Bill and Randall for your insight on how IMAP works. I think that would have been long and demanding to scan every email when syncing, so I'm glad this is not the case Thanks Patrik for your workflow regarding your procedure to archive your emails, I'll keep

2 GB of network traffic per day seems high. I’m going to leave Activity monitor open on my MailMate today and see what I get. Messages.noindex tends to be a bit larger than the on-server size of the messages, but not staggeringly so. For example, one of my accounts is using 4.7 GB on the

Dear Tracy,   Thanks for your reply, this is greatly appreciated! Yes, I understand around 200,000 emails may be quite a lot and no I don't need all of them instantly and yes I was thinking of doing something to reduce that (backup + moving emails to submailboxes that would be unsubscribed).
