opening mail folder for first time very slow

[jasonblewis]

Hi,

When I jump to a mail folder for the first time, it is very slow to show the list of messages.

My inbox has 56 unread messages in it currently and it takes 32 seconds to show anything, with no indication that its actually doing something.

To reproduce, start emacs, start mu4e, press j followed by to get the default folder (which is my inbox)

wait 32 seconds, then mu4e shows emails.

I tried setting debug on quit, but when i pressed C-g it did not seem to create a debug buffer for some reason.

Jumping to inbox again is instant. quit emacs and restart, and then I have to wait 30 seconds gain for mails to show.

jumping to any other folder also seems to be affected.

try
(setq mu4e-update-interval nil)
in your setup -- does that help?

Also, see the note on '.noupdate' in the mu-index manpage.

Yes, that solves it.

Why is that?

Thanks,

Jason
