I have two mailboxes configured. A private IMAP mailbox and GMail. Most of the time I use the mail app, it becomes unresponsive. Often it takes long enough for the OS aksing me to kill the app even.

  • Open a mail and the UI becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds.
  • Close a mail and the UI becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds.
  • Go to the details view of a mail and the UI becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds.
  • Go back from the details view and the UI becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds.
  • Tap and hold on a mail and the UI becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds before the content menu appears.
  • Mark a mail as read and the UI becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds.
  • Receive new mails and the UI becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds (today even the notification vibration when I got a new mail did not stop, probably because mail was unresponsive).

It is getting worse with every day, as if the amount of mails on the phone have an impact on UI fluidness.

This can happen when DB is very large, some fixes coming in next updates will help a bit and later a bigger fix that will prevent slow down in UI from DB operations. As a temporary solution account recreation should help.

@VDVsx: thanks, this sounds great! Indeed, this database has been growing continuously since end of November.
