Client is always “Downloading messages”.
Brand new install with an AOL IMAP account. I only have a total of 11 folders. One of those folders has over 6,000 messages in it. The Database is 1.2GB. It’s no longer growing. Sync time is the default 10 minutes and conversations are turned off.
(I removed all the “done” lines so the lists are shorter)
Here is an example of one of its rotations:
6:48:45 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: Done
6:48:45 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/
6:48:48 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Saved
6:48:49 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Archive
6:48:50 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Bulk Mail
6:48:50 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Draft
6:48:50 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Inbox
6:48:51 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Sent
6:48:51 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Trash
6:48:51 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/Mom
6:48:52 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/Recipes
6:48:52 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/Try Out
6:48:53 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/US Bank
6:48:53 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/iPhones
6:48:53 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: For folder Justin AOL/Sent
6:52:37 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: For folder Justin AOL/Sent
6:56:26 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: For folder Justin AOL/Sent
Right back around again:
6:58:47 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Synchronizing subfolders: For folder Justin AOL/
Granted there’s over 6k messages in the Sent folder but why is it “Downloading messages” from that folder for a full 10 minutes when there’s nothing left to download? This install is 5 days old. I have everything in that folder. But every 10 minutes it spends 10 minutes downloading from that folder.
And now that I’m watching this like a hawk I see it’s getting hung up on another folder. This one only has 200 messages in it.:
10:03:05 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/Try Out
10:03:10 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/Try Out
10:04:12 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/Try Out
10:04:41 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/Try Out
10:04:56 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/Try Out
10:05:52 AM Justin AOL [IMAP] Downloading messages: For folder Justin AOL/Saved/Try Out
Why is it looping through this folder over and over again? There’s nothing to download. I went through and physically looked at every single message in that folder. They are all there and downloaded.
I tried setting the sync to 60 minutes to see if it would ever eventually fully finish and it did. So I set it back to 10 minutes and again, it spends 100% of the time downloading messages.
