Synching sent items very slow

Running TB 31.2.0 under osx 10.9.5 against an outlook.com imap account.
The inbox and folders have all synched correctly, however, my sent items folder which contains 2411 emails refuses to synch. It is trying but very very slowly, approx. 1 email per 2/3 minutes. I did try letting it synch over a few days, but it seems to reset and start again. I tried deleting the database index - same problem. Curiously, the sent folder does contain many, many emails. The last email has date 23/10/2014 and I believe all before that date are in the sent folder correctly.
Any ideas please?

You have alot of emails in the Sent folder.
As you use IMAP these emails are stored on the server and it is taking up alot of time just to synch them.
As it is awkward - impossible trying to synch that folder, suggest you try this.
Logon to webmail account using a browser.
Create some folders eg: Sent 2013, Sent 2014 to help organise and reduce file size. They will be your archive of sent emails.
Then move emails as appropriate into those folders.
You can then subscribe to see those folders in Thunderbird if you need to see those emails.

  • High synch rate with VERY slow throughput

    Help!!!
    I'm hoping that the one of the mods on here may be able to intervene and help get my issue sorted.
    I had my home broadband upgraded to adsl2 on the 8th of Feb. after 5 years of hassle free service on up to  8 Meg service.
    From the day of upgrade (of which has given no significant increase in speed by the way), I've had an issue with fluctuating throughput whilst my synch rate remains rock solid at 6.5-7mb/s.
    On any given day I can get my full expected throughput of between 6 and 6.5mb/s but can have long periods of dial up speeds at 40-50kbp/s which can be morning, day or night, so not a peak time bandwidth cap/throttle issue.  I have given it the 10 day stabilisation before taking up with tech helpdesk, but after nearly 2 weeks of calls and going round in circles I'm running out of patience.
    Can I just add I'm an Openreach engineer who deals with broadband/SFI faults daily so have made sure the issue does not lie within the network or premises. I've also taken a hub and connected it direct on to the adsl out port of the exchange mdf and witnessed the same speed problems, so am in no doubt that the problem is with BT. When I try to explain to the helpdesk advisors it doesn't seem to register. Whether it's down to a fault on my port or a general congestion issue on the backhaul I don't know but just need someone to get to the bottom of it for me
    I am awaiting a call back with an update in the next 2 days but judging by the way thing have gone down so far I'm not confident I'll get a result, so was hoping someone on here could help.

    in order to get things moving you need to post your router adsl stats and also btspeedtester results.  would help if you can post a good set where download is ok and then a poor set for comparison

  • Since upgrading to ios8, pages very slow to load, and can no longer read items in my reading list when offline. ?????

    SI since upgrading to ios8, Safari pages are very slow to load, Kindle crashes upon opening, and I can no longer read saved artices from my reading list when offline. Big disappointment. Is it possible to downgrade to previous ios?

    I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
    Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
    1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
    2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
    3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
    5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
    6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
    7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
    8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
    Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

  • TS3899 I have upgrade my to iOS7 and my company recently upgrade to Exchange 2010. My emails are not synching to my inbox. I can see all of my sent items. I have already deleted the account 3 times but this did not fix the inbox problem.

    I have upgrade my phone to iOS7 and my company recently upgraded to Exchange 2010. My emails are not synching to my inbox. I can only see my Sent items. I have already deleted the account 3 times but this did not fix the inbox problem.

    You need to have a different Apple ID for each of the other devices.

  • E7 Slow & Un-retrievable Mail. No 'Sent Items'

    A special thread, just to say that with 'other' e-mail accounts, I have had terrible trouble seeing more than headers & with apparent poor synch & poor connection to either a network or wifi. Also I had no 'sent items'
    I should have looked on this forum earlier, where an amazing trick seems to sort it out.
    Attributed to 'Phsychomania', I believe:
    Delete your email accounts totally. Reboot your phone.
    When turned on again set up your email accounts one by one again, only this time decline the terms and policy each time that show up on your screen.
    Perhaps a software update will sort out this issue which was ruining the phone.

    Hi zengo giri, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • Sending mail with "sent" is fast, but copying the sent mail is very slow, sometimes takes a minute; can it be speeded up?

    After hitting "send", a screen comes up showing a moving bar "copying the mail to the sent folder", the bar goes fully right on
    the screen but then I must wait, sometimes a minute for the copying process to complete. Then I always get a screen message
    next that says in effect could not copy, so I close that screen and then go to my sent folder and the email I sent shows up. So,
    the copy process is very slow and then I get a message could not copy, but in fact a copy does appear in sent folder????
    Thank you

    You do not mention how big is the Sent folder.
    I would first try to archive a load of old sent emails. This will reduce the file size. Maybe the delay is due to a large file.
    Set up Archive Options:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
    choose to archive by month and year and keep folder structure.
    Archive anything older than a month.

  • IPad and iPhone mail sent items does not synch with exchange 365

    This has been a longish term issue that vue ignored till now but...
    I run exchange 365 hosted service from Microsoft, own domain.
    It synchs all no issues with iPad and iPhone mail, contacts calendars etc all except sent items on mail.
    My last synced sent items mail is 2012.
    It tries to synch ie connecting etc, then fails, locking up mail synch for about an hour then on all folders.
    Just want to be able to see sent items stuff

    This was a user issue. The webmail account I have stored the Mails other folders under personal folders and there I found that my sent mail had been getting sync'd.
    The answer is on the server not the OS Mail

  • Very slow performance when assigning value to a form item

    Dear all,
    I have an add-on form that contains 30 text edits. I did not creat the from with screen painter but positioned them by marking each item's top and left position in the new sub.
    I have named them as 'edBox1', 'edBox2'......, 'edBox30'
    At a point I need to assign value to each edit text, I have queried the content from DB into one recordset. However, when I start to assign values to each edit text, the performance became very slow.
    my code is as follow
    me.form.items.item("edBox1").Specific.String = recordset.field.item(0).value.tostring
    me.form.items.item("edBox30").Specific.String = recordset.field.item(29).value.tostring
    I found that B1 seem to iterate each item on the form in order to find the item I specified.
    so I think I should specificy items earler.
    Now for each item I dim an object for it at new sub
    Dim oedBox1 As SAPbouiCOM.EditText
    Dim oedBox30 As SAPbouiCOM.EditText
    and while creating forms, I specificy each item to the matched object
    Then I assign values to items by
    oedBox1.String = recRetrive.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString
    oedBox30.String = recRetrive.Fields.Item(29).Value.ToString
    However, B1 still iterates to find the item and the performance is still slow, does anyone has a better solution to this issue? please kindly advise.
    Thank you
    Alan

    Hi Chen,
    you can find one example under SDK samples which will guide on using datasources
    Bind the controls to dbdataource and then query the datasource.
    then update form using oForm.Update(),this will automatically fill the values in all edit boxes and it will be very fast as well
    Hope it helps you

  • Slideshow page appears to load all images at once making it very slow. Is it possible to force it to load just the required items for the immediate page / slide

    Hi Everyone
    First post and a Muse / Web Noob.
    Im building my personal website with muse ( CC and now CC 2014 ) , its quite simple with slideshows embedded inside each other and is just 4 pages in total.
    My two slideshow pages appears to load all images at once making it very slow ( plus 20 secs on my system ). Is it possible to force it to load just the required items for the immediate page / slide. It would be so much faster and would work much better in this particular situation.
    Ive built all the images and icons at the correct size so optimisation shouldn't be an issue. The whole site is only about 42mb.

    Many thanks

    Oh well the problem seems to have fixed itself. It seems it was either a Java or Tumblr problem because the same thing happened when I installed Chrome. It is a lot more stable now and no more crashes yay.

  • Sent items on Blackberry

    Hi,
    Can anyone help.
    I have a Blackberry Torch and cannot see or synchronise any sent items that were sent from BT Yahoo Mail as they do not show on the blackberry.I have spoken to BT but they are not very forthcoming on this issue.
    Many thanks
    Nick

    Make sure that the e-mail account on the phone is setup to use IMAP, and not POP3. IMAP enables folder synch.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Very slow starting iMac

    iMac G5 iSight (bought Nov '05), 2.1Ghz, 1.5Gb ram, 500Gb hard drive (378.83 available), nothing connected to it except keyboard and mouse (which is connected to the keyboard). Start up items: PSPWareHelper, Microsoft Database, Aspyer Game Agent Helper, iCalAlarmScheduler, iTunesHelper (I have now removed the first three).
    The problem seems to be when starting up after being off overnight. The wife called me Monday lunchtime to say she had started the iMac up only to get the grey screen with the Apple logo (no little circle going round below it) and that's all she got, after a couple of minutes she tried turning it off by holding the power button for a few seconds but it wouldn't respond so she switched it off at the wall, left it a couple of minutes and then tried again, this time it started up but it took about 7 minutes before all was working OK. She then shut down as you normally would and then turned it on again and it was up and running in what we would consider a normal time scale (about a minute and a half).
    The same thing happened yesterday (long start up followed by a normal start up, no sticking on the grey screen this time). I decided to start it up myself this morning to see for myself and I got the seven minute start up which just seemed to be a very slow motion version of the normal start up, once you do get the normal desktop the first thing to appear is the dock followed by the top left hand information (blue apple and finder 'tabs') then after about two minutes the hard drive icon appears followed quickly by the top right hand information. For the next few minutes everything I clicked on (email, blue apple to access the System Preferences) was followed by the spinning beach ball.
    When the wife first told me about the problem I ran disk utility and repaired permissions and MacJanitor (all tasks) but neither has made any difference. My next stop is to install TechTool Deluxe that came with my AppleCare (does anyone else use this programme? is it any good) and I have just read in the latest Mac User about FSCK but I'm not sure I have the confidence at this stage.
    I must say that once the iMac is up and running everything works normally.
    The most recent programme I have installed is Transmit (off of the MacFormat cover disc) but that has been installed for about a week before the problem started.
    Has anyone experienced this problem? Does anyone have any ideas what I should be looking into.
    Andy

    "My next stop is to install TechTool Deluxe that came with my AppleCare (does anyone else use this programme? is it any good)"
    Yes. However, the disc that came w/AppleCare is not compatible w/your model G5 iMac. You will need to contact AppleCare. They will refer you to a link for you to download & burn v.3.0.4
    See Knowledge Base Article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301353 Mac OS X 10.4: Don't use Tech Tool Deluxe 3.0.3's Volume Structure repair
    Because I notified them of the problem back when I purchased my computer last November, AC made arraingements w/Micromat & sent me TTPro for free.
    Regarding fsck, see the following article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance
    =====================
    Now regarding your other problem(s):
    Sounds like you basically did a lot of troubleshooting. Have you tried running Disk Utility from the DVD?
    Do you have any other 3rd party disc utilities besides TTD? If not, you may want to purchase Techtool Pro. If you do, you will be able to purchase at a DEEP DISCOUNT because you already own Deluxe.
    Another "forum" favorite is DiskWarrior.
    You may have tried some of the following. However, there may have been some suggestions you could have overlooked:

  • Mail has become very, very slow.  Do I have a provider problem or is there something I can do with my Mac to speed it up?

    Mail has become very, very slow.  Do I have a provider problem or is there something I can do with my Mac?

    Couple of steps. One is general housekeeping and the other is performance related.
    If you have an extremely large number of messages in your inbox(es) or sent categories, consider the ones that remain relevant and purge those that are not. Do this regularly. Choose the Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items > In All Accounts...
    Afterwards, you can start by rebuilding your Mailbox indexes within your individual mail accounts. For each Account in the left panel of Mail under Inbox, select it, and then from Mailbox menu, choose Rebuild (bottom of menu). When you are done, exit and restart Mail.
    Still slow?

  • Selecting sidebar actions under Lion very slow

    Under Snow Leopard, when I would move between some sidebard items like iPhone, iPad, or the apps list, my system was very quick.  I synch my devices very frequently to keep my business calendar updated all the time so switching is happening all the time.
    Under Lion, the store, the library items, in the sidebard all switch very fast.  But selecting the iPhone, the iPad or the list of apps in the library is incredibly slow.  Timed, its 12 to 13 seconds every time they are selected before the change takes place.  I even get the spinning beachball every time.  And, same thing reselecting, its not just the first time.
    Is this unusual?  Any suggestions appreciated.  It just seems very unusual that this one app would have some specific things like this suddenly get so very slow.
    Thanks!
