Sometimes Mail seems to hang during Mail processing when I check for new Mail. It just sits there and new inbox items don’t show up, even when there are a lot of them in the queue.
My impression is that Mail is waiting for SpamSieve to do its thing. I don’t know if it’s related, but I also get a lot of these messages when the problem appears:
16.11.08 16.11 12:21:18 SpamSieve com.apple.console Warning Commit error: Couldn’t commit because cannot start a transaction within a transaction
Is there some DB file I can repair or delete to get rid of these messages and hopefully of the delays?
I think that did the trick, and I get the impression that checking mail completes much faster now, also when there are no new messages in any of the accounts.
I can’t tell for sure yet because I don’t have much new mail right now. I’ll keep an eye on it and if it turns out that the problem is still there, I’ll post to this thread again.
