Hi,
deleting huge amount of e-mails in mailbox can seemingly hang balsa.
I wrote seemingly because I gave up on waiting after 4 hours.
howto ->
mbox format of e-mails
consisting of a LOT of simple e-mails
(ie daily report of something with subject 'A type' or subject 'B
type')
open that mailbox
sort by subject
select only subject 'A type'
click 'Trash/Delete'
choose menu 'Mailbox' then 'Expunge Deleted Messages'
go on some loooong vacation .. :)
Did it use any CPU at that time, or it looked more like a deadlock (no
response but no CPU usage either)?
I remember the expunging could sometimes be really slow (the time per
message is not constant but rather depends on the number of messages in
the mailbox) but 4 hours is definitely excessive....
