Hi all, I just re-discovered how to enable verbose logging for an account.
I enabled it for my IMAP account to see what is causing the delay when I first select a mailbox containing new messages and try to load the body of one of the unread messages. Usually TB! sits there apparently inactive for a while before the message body finally loads. The larger the mailbox, the more noticeable the delay. The slower the connection, the longer the delay as well. On checking the logs, I see that TB! rechecks the flag status for all messages in the mailbox. So if there are 4000 message, the flags for all those messages seem to be rechecked and updated as needed. This happens for a mailbox every time I select the mailbox after new messages have been added. I don't know about everyone else and opinions on this would be nice. Having no feedback during this sort of activity is not nice, especially when the user is in the dark about what's happening. TB! does have a progress bar that comes up when message bodies are being loaded or when attachments are being retrieved. Wouldn't it be good if a progress bar was activated to show progress with respect to message flag status checking for the mailbox being browsed. If the user sees this underway, he/she will now understand why there's a delay to the message body of the selected message being loaded. I also question the efficiency of the flag updating. It makes having large IMAP mailbox prohibitive when it really shouldn't be. I'm hoping that this can be optimised somehow. Does the flag status of all messages in the mailbox have to be checked each time? -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat! v3.5.0.31 System Specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- NEWS!
