IMail: slow performance, disappearing emails, random receipt/dispatch of emails

Other users in this forum have reported problems with iMail after upgrading to ML (e.g., iMail slowing down significantly). I suffer from these problems as well, in particular:
1. iMail has slowed down. I followed the advice of other users and deleted all envelope-type files in the library thus "forcing" iMail to reimport all mails. This helpe for a second, until the next problem emerged.
2. In addition, mails apper and disappear randomly depending on the folder that has been activated/highlighted. After a few minutes, mails in other folders appear and disapper.
3. Furthermore, even when all mails in a folder have been read, reference to "x" or "z" mails that were indicated as unread before would not disappear.
4. Finally, dispatch and receipt of emails also only randomly works, which means that form time to time emails can be sent and received - but the program is no longer stable.
As a consequence, iMail has become unusable as of today. Can anyone help solving these problems? Comments and suggestions very much appreciated.

I am having this problem as well. If you quit mail and reenter it, you will see your exchange mail again. Question, do you that are having this problem have a large inbox? Others in my office are not having the same problem but the only difference I have found is that I use searches to organize my inbox instead of physically moving exchange mails into folders so the inbox doesn't have as many messages.
However, Apple NEEDS to fix this ASAP! This has been an absolute pain in the ***.

With version update 31.4.0 - the return receipt request and email send priority disappeared. How can I access them now? Thanks!

Yahoo emails randomly disappearing in iPad

I have a problem with Yahoo emails randomly disappearing when I use my iPad. I found an old discussion regarding this issue here, but don't seem to find a fix or any recent update: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1059223?start=0&tstart=0
Basically, I started noticing about a month ago that I couldn't find anymore certain emails I had filed in folders. At first I thought it was a fluke, but now it has happened 4-5 times (that I know of). I am 100% positive that I did not delete the emails by accident. As far as I can remember, I am pretty sure that all of the mails that are missing are ones that I filed into folders using the iPad (but not all emails filed into folders from the iPad are missing, only random ones). Who knows how many other mails are missing that I didn't know of or how long this has been going on.
For the moment, I guess I will stop filing mail using the iPad (only read mail on iPad, and then file later when I am at my PC). But does anyone else experienced this and have any suggestions?

Very new Mac user. Just last month acquired my MacBook Air and a 4S phone. Because I'm a newby, I thought it was my lack of familiarity with Mac that was leading to the randomly disappearing messages on my phone and PC.
My experience is like others. Messages are in various folders. Messages are then dissappearing, sometime right before my eyes as I click on a folder with the phone. I am not sure if I moved them to the folders on the phone or the PC, but I will try in future to just do it on the PC. What has disappeared is not travel documents, but rather various misc. messages. And yes, I am a RogersYahoo user.
My old Dell PC has ironically helped me out a bit. A while ago I used Outlook to access my Rogers Yahoo and it retrieved a number of messages. All were stored safely on the Dell. When I started losing them on the Mac system, at least I had the Dell to back me up.
If anybody hears more from Apple or Rogers, I too would be very interested in the results. E-mail access on the go was great until this problem arose.

Extremely slow performance with ojdbc6.jar on IBM JVMs (Java 6)

We are consistently seeing slow performance (easily demonstrable by the simplest of test cases) while using ojdbc6.jar on IBM JDKs. Pefrormance is normal when we simply opt for ojdbc14.jar under the same JDK, same java program.
Works well
=======
JRockit, ojdbc6.jar
JRockit, ojdbc14.jar
IBM JDK, ojdbc14.jar
A lot slower
=======
IBM JDK, ojdbc6.jar
All we had to do was to write a simple JDBC access program and measure time taken around
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcURL, dbProps);
The first 3 combinations mentioned above return comparable numbers. The 4th combination takes 3-4 times as much.
We initially saw this during performance test of our software on WebSphere (also supported on Weblogic). Later was able to eliminate WebSphere and Weblogic as the problem areas and narrow it down to the JVM. Reproduce-able on development machines.
We have been using Oracle/WLS since BEA used to market 'Tengah' servers. This is the worst we have seen as far as the qaulity of support staff goes. We first level support seems clueless. We filed this case and the support comes back tells us that IBM JDKs are not supported for WLS! Oh, we have been running WLS/AIX/IBM JVM combination only for 5+ years.

A quick solution to test this would be to do the following:
mv /dev/random /dev/random.bk
ln /dev/urandom /dev/random
Note: The quick solution will disappear after a reboot. You could add it to rc.local to automatically make this change, but I wouldn't recommend it.
The following is from [http://www.usn-it.de/index.php/2009/02/20/oracle-11g-jdbc-driver-hangs-blocked-by-devrandom-entropy-pool-empty/]:
"Oracle 11g JDBC driver hangs blocked by /dev/random – entropy pool empty
On a headless (=without console) network server, the 11g JDBC driver used for (java) application connect may cause trouble. In my case, it refused to connect to the DB without any error, trace or log entry. It simply hung. After several hours, it connected one time, and freezed again. Remote debugging done by the development clarified that it locks after calling SeedGenerator() and SecureRandom().
Reason: The JDBC 11g needs about 40 bytes of secure random numbers, gathered from /dev/random, to encrypt its connect string.
But public-available “man 4 random” says:
When read, the /dev/random device will only return random bytes within the estimated number of bits of noise in the entropy pool. /dev/random should be suitable for uses that need very high quality randomness such as one-time pad or key generation. When the entropy pool is empty, reads from /dev/random will block until additional environmental noise is gathered.
So far so good, now the question arises: Why does this mystic “entropy pool” runs out of gas?
The answer is as simple as unsatisfying: because too less entropy “noise” was generated by the system. You can check the “filling level” (maybe zero?) of your pool and the overall size of the pool (usually 4096) by issuing
cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize
Hint: /dev/random will deliver one new random number as soon as the pool has reached more than 64 entropy units.
So why does my box not generate more entropy noise?
Because only few drivers will fill the entropy pool, first of all keyboard and mouse. Sounds very useful on a server in a datacenter, isn’t it? Some block device and network drivers seem to do so as well, and I have read from guys on the net changing their network card and driver to enjoy this “feature”! But let’s stop ranting, /dev/random is simply made for high security randomness, and if it can’t make sure that randomness is as good as possible in this deterministic world, it stops. Intelligent people have created /dev/urandom for that, like “man 4 random” clearly states:
A read from the /dev/urandom device will not block waiting for more entropy. As a result, if there is not sufficient entropy in the entropy pool, the returned values are theoretically vulnerable to a cryptographic attack on the algorithms used by the driver. Knowledge of how to do this is not available in the current non-classified literature, but it is theoretically possible that such an attack may exist. If this is a concern in your application, use /dev/random instead.
Now let’s get back on our JDBC problem. Oracle JDBC 11g seems to use /dev/random by default, which causes usually no trouble on clients running with console access by a user, because his/her unpredictable :) actions will keep the entropy pool well-fed. But to make it usable on a headless server with a latently empty entropy pool, you should do several things, in descending security order (without warranty):
1. Involve an audio entroy daemon like AED to gather noise from your datacenter with an open microphone, maybe combine it with a webcam noise collector like VED. Other sources are talking about “Cryptographic Randomness from Air Turbulence in Disk devices“. :)
2. Use the Entropy Gathering Daemon to collect weaker entropy from randomness of userspace programs.
3. Talk your JDBC into using /dev/urandom instead:
-Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom"

The bandwidth is meant for 4 concurrent phone conversations so adjust up as needed. The priority is based on my own testing so take it as you may.
The most important statement is "fair-queue 256", by default you only get 16 queues. Allowing for 256 queues only uses a modest amount of memory so its a simple low impact choice for the router and allows more conversations between devices without interruption.
Upping the number of queues in your policy would be the best and most important item for your performance problem, next of couse to coercing EIGRP to load balance the T1s properly.
Brian
P.S. Create a loopback interface for the ip unnumbered use, cause if the Fa0/0 goes down everything goes down and you can't telnet in from anywhere to look at it. Eliminate the following items from the config by using "no" in fromt of them, a bit of research will tell you why, and start you toward eliminating a few other items.

Slow performance on Intel Mac a damaged disk?

Hi,
I'm experiencing very slow performance on my Intel Mac 216 Ghz core duo, with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Running OS 10.6.8. Have been experiencing reduced performance, can't use Entourage email or Chrome, Firefox browsers at the same time. Ran Utilities to repair permissions, only a Java set of issues. Disk Utilities found no problems with the disk. Have experienced this issue increasingly for 5-6 months. Using Activity Window i see that Entourage, Word, Safari, Chrome, even System Preferences pane sometimes "Is not responding". Other system services take longer than before.
Apple support had me get larger RAM chip. Now have 2GB Ram. Upgraded to OS 10.6.8 with no improvement. Ran Software Update several times.
I have no anti virus software, have disabled Spotlight and any other memory demanding software. I'm on a in-home wi-fi network on an Airport Extreme.
In addition, at startup it takes 15+ seconds for the keyboard (wired) typing to show in the log on field. Running a single account with Admin access. Screen refreshes slow at times. Currently running is Safe Boot mode but that's not helping much.
Read on this board discussion 23238910 to use Terminal Window to do a syslog comand. The results in the Text Edit reads
Thu Jun 5 14:29:54 strait-admins-computer kernel[0] <Debug>: disk1: I/O error.

I need to resolve the issue as it's killing my time!
Thanks for any suggestions.

It does not sound good for your disk drive.
I suggest you backup everything to an external disk drive ASAP.

CRM OUTLOOK 2013, slow performance

estimates, installing Outlook 2013 on my workstation, the team's performance is significantly degraded, to the point that the user can not operate normally, Outlook loading for the first time too you delay, how I can help solve the problem ?

Hi,
Please start Outlook in Safe Mode, check if the performance is better:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If the performance is much better in Outlook Safe Mode, I suspect there may be some add-ins that cause Outlook to perform slow, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which one caused the issue.
Another possible cause that makes Outlook slow, is that the users' mailboxes are too large, check if the performance issue is gone to cache fewer emails:
In Outlook 2013, click FILE -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Double click on the Account Name, select "1 month" or "3 months", after all the items are synced, check the performance.
One last thing, Office 2013 now relies on higher system requirements than previous versions, the performance is also related to the hardware device. Please refer to this link below to check the system requirements for Office 2013 including Outlook 2013.

Melon Chen

Slow performance from Premiere Elements 10

Hi guys,
I recently purchased Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 10 to edit some wedding video. I am experiencing some slow performance with the software (and random lockups for that matter). My CPU usage shows nearly nil when using the program and with IE with multiple tabs open at the moment and the Premiere Elements open, I am showing that I still have about 5GB of RAM free. However, I am still getting some slow performance from the software with random lockups. The video came from a sony HDR-CX700V camera, it is all 1080P video and there is about 3 hours worth of footage added to my current project. I imported the footage by just dragging and dropping the video folder contents into the "Project" tab within the program.
An example of the slow performance I get is this. I added a Title card to start before the video. When I hit play to see how it looks, the preview screen shows nothing, but you can see the time scrolling, then the video suddenly starts, but the video is really choppy. I also had a heck of a time just adding that title card, as when I did it the program crashed once and locked up a couple of times. Any ideas how I can fix this? What other information would you need to help me further troubleshoot the problem?
My system is has an i7-720 with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GTX260M with the latest driver from NVIDIA.
TIA guys!

One - your project must match your video... if you have a red line over the timeline immediately after importing the video, your project is wrong

Slow performance after installation of new OS-X

I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing the same problem as me, but it seemed to occur after I installed the new OS-X.
My MacBook Pro has gone stremely slow and it seems to be related to MAIL. I thought that the standard MAIL program that comes with MAC was the problem, so I installed Postbox and that seemed to work for a while (1 day or 2) and then it was the same. It's not just email programs that are slow, but all programs.
Click and wait seconds (10, 20, 30 sec) just for a program to open. Moving between files is so slow. I feel like I'm using Windows again.
I'm no expert, but when I look at MEMORY usage, out of 4GB I'm using 3.8GB. My Virtual Memory is 4.76GB. See screen shot below.
I would apprecaite if anyone can help me resolve what the problem is.
Thanks

First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Dreamweaver CS3 (9) maxed CPU slow performance and FTP issues.

Dreamweaver CS3 (9) maxed CPU slow performance and FTP
issues.
Never mind...I found it.
Of course I have all the firewall, worm, scanning, phishing
filtering, full time protect, and everything else turned off when I
am working on a remote/testing site however I found the Symantec
antivirus email scan being enabled (doesn't it just interact with
my email program?) was getting in the way of DW9 ftp operations,
causing some lagging that was putting DW9 into an unstable mode
during and immediately after (10 seconds) ftp operations.
The CPU still spikes to 99% during ftp functions but DW9
works even though it's likely taxed to the max but when I turn off
email scan DW9 returned to a functioning state during ftp and
remote file view. Whatever it takes huh?
PS: email scanning only never effected DW8.02

Thanks for the response. I managed to Google the 'nobody' account and found the explanation.
As you say, I assumed the 'syslogd' process had to do with system logs. I did check the console and couldn't find anything of particular interest in the logs.
I'll continue to monitor but if anyone has any further suggestions please post.
One thing that might also have an impact... my available drive space is now down to less than 5gb (runs anywhere between 1gb and 5gb free depending on what I'm running). I know this causes problems for Parallels as it keeps moaning at me, but would it cause any problems with OSX?
Thanks again,

Recent upgrade, slow performance, shown in Activity Monitor

I have been experiencing gradually slowing performance in the last couple of weeks, the only thing I have done a couple months ago is upgrade to Leopard, though the timing does not indicate it's this precisely.
It is most noticeable in Safari and PS CS3 and Bridge, the programs I mostly use.
In Activity Monitor, when this occurs there are a couple of offending processes, and they are always hanging when the slowing phases happen. They say, in red:
UserEventAgent (not responding)
and/or
coreaudioid (not responding)
Does anyone know what this might be? How I can correct whatever this is?
thx

That thread indicates the cause points to various plug-ins primarily from Pro Tools. I do have PT installed, and I have now uninstalled it. We'll see if things improve. Otherwise I don't know how to isolate the cause, for example another random plug-in, so the thread was of limited value. Good start though, thanks.
Pro Tools LE 7.x is apparently not yet compatible with Leopard, joy.

MacBook Pro Slow Performance, Difficulty Multitasking

Hello, everyone. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have a mid-2012 Intel MacBook Pro that is very important to me. Typically, I'll have a couple of Safari windows, Mail, Evernote, Excel, Word, Calendar, Contacts, and Acrobat running at the same time on 3-4 desktops. This has been typical of my usage since I bought the computer.
For the last few months, I've noticed that it is having difficulty switching between these tasks. The gestures to switch the task on the display work fine, but I often get the working ball icon for a significant time before I can continue work in the new application. This sometimes lasts up to a minute, but is usually 10 seconds or so. I haven't noticed that a particular application causes this more than any other, and since I first noticed it, I've installed 2 or 3 different OS versions. I also ran an AHT with no results.
Anyway, since I can't point to anything other than my perception of slower performance, I figured I'd post my EtreCheck results to fish for suggestions. Does anything below look out of whack? Any suggestions for changes to improve performance?
Thanks,
Jake

CS5 or Pc Slow performance?

Hi there,I have a problem with my pc at work and because I am not quite sure in which one is exactly the problem I decide to ask you.The pc is intel pentium 4 with 3 Gb Ram XP professional service pack 3 Photoshop CS 5.
The pc is connected to server(data base).When I open a bunch of photos (20-30) approximately 8 - 12 MB each one and sometimes I experience a slow performance(for example I am trying to retouch/clone something and it takes a lot of time for the pc to redraw/respond) the interesting part is that it doesn't happen always(sometimes can be even 3 photos and it will take ages to do something) also I notice that after appr. 20 minutes it's suddenly start to work as it should normally(it's like there was an update and when is updated/complete everything is fine).When that start to happen today I restart CS5 and load the same photos and it work fine, so it is really bizarre for me.I put a 89% ram usage to the CS5(I pretty much use only all the time Photoshop and bridge ) also made the history steps to 7 and the cache to 6 for big and flat files.I was checking the Efficiency and it's all the time 100 % so it's like it's not the photoshop but like I said today i just restard the ps and upload the same photos and got fix...I tried to copy the photos on my hard drive(so it should not be affect of the performance of the server but still the same as when I take them straight from the server.Because the hard drive is only 80 gb ( I don't store anything there ) i did clean up and disk defragment still the same situation.Do you know what can be the problem and is it the Photoshop or the Pc?I'll appreciate it.
Thank you

Could be that your PC is sometimes looking to check things on the server, and maybe the server or network is busy/bogged down and you PC gets caught in that cycle mess.....so,
suggest next time you use Ps, set win performance monitor perfmon.exe or perfmon.msc ; setup to view graph of disk use and network activity and cpu usage.....then you may see/track a problem area.
on win7, task manager does most of the same stuff

Confirm performance of Service/Goods Receipt

We are using SRM 4.0 SRM Server 5.0 in extended classic scenario. Our backend is a R/3 system version 4.70.
When changing a purchase order via transaction BBP_POC on the header data tab, go to the follow-on documents. At the top of this screen is a Document Ctrl section. There is a box titled "Confirm Performance of Service/Goods Receipt". We understand that removing the check mark from this box is essentially telling the system that you do not want to perform a goods receipt for this purchase order. When the invoice is received in R/3, the system will pay the invoice and not put it in a block status. The business is asking for this ability at a line item level. In essence they want to tell the system that a goods receipt is not required by line item. Apparently this capability exists in a purchase requisition in R/3. Does anyone know if this is possible in SRM?
Best regards,
Shawn O'Connor

Hello Shawn,
I don't understand your request, because document control in BBP_POC transaction ("Process Purchase Order") is done at item level...
Could you clarify ?
EDIT:
Sorry, i did not see your are in SRM 4.0...
In SRM 5.0, document control for follow-on document is done at item level.
EDIT:
Regards.
Laurent.
