Stop Mail.app from caching too many IMAP folders
I tried to call Apple-support and they said apple was unaware of the problem and that it would take multiple people reporting bugs before they fixed it. I filed a bug. Here's the correct way to file a bug:
1. Create an apple developer account (they're free and you don't have to be a developer): I recommend you include a link to this page. This bug is a major problem IMHO. Every company I've worked at for the past 10 years has had exchange with huge public folders. My PowerBook G4 1.25GHz spends 30-50% of its CPU most days and nights running Mail alone. I just installed the latest security patch which brought mail from 10.4.2's 2.0.2 to 2.0.3. The problem is not resolved. I think the best solution is probably to go back to 10.4.1 at this point. And maybe backup Mail 2.0.1 and see if it will run under 10.4.2+ releases. This is not a task I look forward to... I'll probably stop at an apple store and try and get one of their guru's walk me through it. BTW, my setup in mail is to configure my exchange account as an IMAP email account. I've had no problems with that configuration unlike one other user that chimed in here.

I went ahead and created a bug report... but it just got marked as Duplicate and they don't acknowledge if they're looking at the problem.

Just an update... Mail 2.05 included with 10.4.3 still hasn't addressed the problems. Server still fires off millions of errors.

YOU ARE TOTALLY SPOT ON. we are resisting a move to tiger with our ~100 clients until Mail can deal with IMAP/exchange accounts correctly. this IMAP scope issue is an absolute pain.

I'll be reporting this, too, hopefully incrementing the duplicate counter closer to what's necessary for Apple to take action and fix it. I'm eventually migrating from Mulberry (sadly, its company recently filed for bankruptcy) and this is one of several key IMAP-related issues that need fixing before I'd seriously consider Apple Mail as a replacement. With some help from Cyrus Daboo (orĀ other equally talented, experienced IMAP expert) as a technical consultant Apple might get the half-baked implementation closer to being fully cooked. |
