I am not such a pack rat. My entire SM profile is running around 2GB.
The two main accounts I use, have MANY folders under - thus that are
seeing this problem - have an InBox size of 27.2 MB and 66 MB. (That is
just the inbox size)
In total I have around 1500 folders, most heavily / deeply nested.
I'd still ask "what the heck for??", but I suppose it's your right!!
I wonder if SM is having troubles indexing the sub-folders and
indexing the sub-sub-folders, and is not so much "losing their
children" but rather "taking it's time re-indexing them".
I switched off automatic compact back during use of TB.
Why??
It seems to me to be related to my use of filters to move messages to
the correct folder. The folders will be fine, a message comes in, and
suddenly when I expand out a folder at InBox level to see the new
message (several folders deep), then sometimes the destination folder is
not visible (along with many other folders loosing their children). I
then open a new instance of SM Mail, close the old one, and read my
message I received.
When you create the new instance of SM Mail, I'm guessing this new
instance creates a new set of index files (the ".msf" files) which are
clean, sort of like what would result if you used File->Compact Folders
more often.........Does your machine often stall just after you've done
one of your weekly profile clean ups and back-ups??
I collapse folder trees at the folder just under the InBox. Both TB and
SM are able to remember which subfolders I wanted open/closed within
each subtree, thus I use that to my advantage and leave critical path
sub,sub-sub,sub-sub-sub branches always open and simply collapse the
folder directly off the InBox. When I want to reopen that subtree, I
click the folder just off the InBox, and to my annoyance SM FREQUENTLY
is unable to correctly display the entire subtree correctly.
Additionally, I wonder how often you "File->Compact Folder" on each of
your mail accounts, sub-accounts, sub-sub...........
Weekly, when I do my SM profile backups I do:
1) Delete all Junk mail
2) File \ Empty Trash
3) File \ Compact Folders
on each account's InBox folder. I see the compact operation enumerate
correctly through each accounts folder tree structure via the status bar.
