Stop Mail.app from caching too many IMAP folders
Hm... We have a Public Folder on our Exchange server accessible to everyone, so Mail.app checks and caches all those messages, calendar events and attachments (10000+) at every start, which is not very nice when I'm on dial-up.
Stop Mail.app from caching too many IMAP folders
Already in 10.3 I replaced the "Public Folders" folder with a symbolic link to /dev/null. This at least prevents useless stuff from the folders to be written to my disk, waste space and get indexed by Spotlight. But still the folders are queried. Also tried your approach with chmod 000 and locking, and seems to do exactly the same thing: No messages are stored, but the folders on the server are still queried. Or that's what I think because if I delete all caches and force Mail to update everything, it initially shows 0 new messages in the public folders, but later ~100'000. Can you confirm? I am using an Exchange Server but I'll try later and set up the account as plain IMAP instead (don't think this will help, but let's see).

Just a quick update: Also tried it with my acount setup as IMAP rather than Exchange Server, but I got the same results.

Yep, I just checked, you're right it still queries the server, both wen configured as an IMAP and an Exchange client. Maybe it's the placebo effect, but it feels a bit faster when I have the folder locked and 000oed. |
