This way we avoid the UID fragmentation problem (we try to fetch a lot of messages that are not available on the server). It's also a nice first step towards only syncing a certain time-frame. Retrieving 50 times more flags than full messages should still result in low memory consumption while greatly reducing roundtrips.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334280 --- Comment #10 from Raymond Wooninck tittiatc...@gmail.com --- (In reply to comment #9) It means UID's 257301 to 257400 are fetched which only correlates to the number of messages that ever have been in the folder (not to the amount you currently have). So the number of flags that are going to be retrieved is only increasing with time ? I would have expected that the IMAP resource would not start retrieving flags for messages that are no longer existing. Because at this moment I see that the fetching starts with number 1 to 100 and then moves up to 100 to 200, etc. So in the above example 257400 flags are trying to be fetched despite that I have only maybe 100 messages in that particular folder. Which is quite an overkill, in my opinion. I am currently trying to increase the batchsizes, but what I have noticed is that the main issue comes from those high-volume folders where the fetching starts from 1 and goes up to 257400 (regardless of how many emails are actually in that folder (local and server). So it seems that Akonadi is just keeping the latest message number and the IMAP resource will always start from 1. In case of an empty folder, this could mean that the IMAP resource is spending 1 or more minutes on trying to retrieve thousands of non-existing flags. I am sure that there must be a better way to retrieve only the flags for existing messages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs

I think the resource simply ignored flag changes previously if there were no new messages. I can readd a similar workaround if CONDSTORE is not available (or broken as on GMAIL). Sorry if I introduced performance problems, but I'm generally preferring correctness over performance, but we can re-add optimizations as necessary. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs

I think the resource simply ignored flag changes But shouldn't this generate network traffic ? Because the flags needs to be retrieved from the server, but during this period I do not see any traffic at all until it reaches the point where it can retrieve some new email. Sorry if I introduced performance problems, but I'm generally preferring correctness over performance, but we can re-add optimizations as necessary. Correctness is fine, but in this world Performance is more important to the users. And it seems that this correctness also creates the situation that the IMAP resource is no longer fast enough and starts blocking itself. (As reported in the other bug). I guess that the IMAP resource now has reached a point where its developers should decide what it actually supports. If the requirement is that it needs a correct CONDSTORE, then support for gmail should be dropped. Maybe moving the gmail support to a separate resource would be much better, so that this specific gmail resource can have all the things required to support a broken GMAIL. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs

Because the flags needs to be retrieved from the server, but during this period I do not see any traffic at all until it reaches the point where it can retrieve some new email.

Correctness is fine, but in this world Performance is more important to the users.

Maybe moving the gmail support to a separate resource would be much better, so that this specific gmail resource can have all the things required to support a broken GMAIL. The IMAP resource supports vanilla IMAP plus extensions as required/useful. If we have to employ certain workarounds in order to make the experience better with servers that don't implement all the necessary extensions, then I'm open to that as long as it doesn't become a maintenance burden. Daniel is already working on a specialized IMAP resource that implements the GMAIL specific extensions, so that will be covered eventually. But I'd still expect the plain IMAP resource to work reasonably well with GMAIL as long as they provide regular IMAP. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs

Strangely enough I didn't notice any network traffic during this period. As indicated network traffic is only visible around the end. Please let me know if the situation is improved or still the same with the fix for the other bug. Flag fetching definitely is slower because I'm currently fetching the flags just as messages in batches of 100 to avoid overloading akonadi. This obviously results in many roundtrips, and I suppose the batchsize could be greatly increased for flags (because a lot less data than full messages). That's just a regular bug that needs to be fixed. Ok. Just strange that it seems only to hit the gmail IMAP. It was a timing issue, and it only appeared if the network connection is the bottleneck.

Just to test if I can find a better number for my system and to retrieve things a little faster ? In imapresource.cpp (setItemSyncBatchSize) we define the batch size. This directly correlates to the number of messages that are loaded into memory, so I wouldn't make this one too big. In retrieveitemstask.cpp:668 you could increase the passed-in batch-size for flag fetching only. I think it should work if you simply set a multiplier (e.g. 10*batchSize()).

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334280 --- Comment #2 from Raymond Wooninck tittiatc...@gmail.com --- I reverted the Christian's commits from Friday afternoon and tried to see where that would bring the situation. After the revert, Gmail synchronization is done in about 1 minute, which is acceptable. Comparing the logs then I can see the following Git master: Starting retrieval for INBOX Starting message retrieval. Elapsed(ms): 161 MessageCount: 626 Local message count: 626 UidNext: 59721 Local UidNext: 59721 HighestModSeq: 0 Local HighestModSeq: 0 Listing flags 1 59721 Starting flag retrieval. Elapsed(ms): 162 Fetching 1 to 100 Retrieval complete. Elapsed(ms): 27321 With the revert I see Starting retrieval for INBOX Starting message retrieval. Elapsed(ms): 167 Listing flags 1 59726 Starting flag retrieval. Elapsed(ms): 167 Retrieval complete. Elapsed(ms): 3470 So the inbox is with the latest git master retrieved in 27 seconds, while before the commits the inbox was retrieved in about 3,5 seconds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
