Title: 5600 email and large IMAP mailboxes
Post by: rjmx on January 16, 2004, 10:21:47 pm

I have a 5600, Sharp v1.32 ROM, and I\'m having trouble with the email app.

I run an IMAP server on my Linux box, and since I keep all my important emails (and quite a few that aren\'t, but I didn\'t get around to throwing them out!), there\'s quite a lot of messages on that server (currently 8242, according to wl on emacs), organised into about 50 or so folders.

When I start up the Zaurus\' email app and try to sync mailboxes, it invariably:

a) goes away for a long time, during which it\'s not very responsive
 eventually claims memory is running low, and I should shut down the email app
c) locks up anyway and I have to do a soft reset

Anyone had this sort of problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

 .....Ron

This is not really an answer, but rather a question:

I too file my mail into about 100 mailboxes, but I try to keep my inbox small (under 100 messages).  Therefore, I don\'t get memory problems.

But I would like to have access to some of the 100 mailboxes, so that I can file messages remotely (isn\'t that one of the main advantages of IMAP?).

Do you know how to subscribe to mailboxes (i.e., add them to the local tree)?  It doesn\'t do it by itself.

Thanks,

Ami

Hmmm. That\'s the problem with mine: it tries to subscribe to every one of my IMAP mailboxes. AND it tries to download every message it can find in each mailbox; that\'s why it runs out of memory.
Why yours should be different, I do not know. What ROM version do you have?
