Mail, Calendar, & Feeds hogging CPU

[mib2berlin]

@Durtro
Hm I test this again before I post, after removing the database folder I could see activities in the status bar, rebuild database, fetching mails.
I don´t store many mails so it need only seconds, if you have 10 thousands of mails you will notice it.

Yahoo is ugly slow so I can see it connects and fetch.

To be honest I cant remember how other mail clients do this.

@mib2berlin 5 accounts and thousands of mails in one of them, but I'm talking about the option available at the mail status dialogue "Rebuild Mail Search Databae". Didn't remove any folder.

@Durtro
I read your other post, you can make a feature request but if I see the resonance on your post not many user would vote for it, I fear.
The majority of users not even know it exist, I test a lot and have used it 2-3 times in a few years.

Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin The status bar stays silent in my case however I am observing that the app goes through each folder fetching emails in DevTools console. It takes almost 2 minutes for my account.

@palbjartan Perhaps reindexing helps you.

It seems they removed the information about re-indexing the database (which helped me to fix the issue) from the help page. At the same time we have some more threads about CPU hogging when mail is enabled also for Vivaldi 6.1:

FYI, I filed VB-98646 against this issue, too.

There are other reports for this issue but the issue is so random the reports are not confirmed.
I have several Vivaldi installs on Win/Lin with 1-5 mail accounts and it never show up.
Some user report removing the account/s and add it again "fix" it.
No idea why this happen for some users.

@mib2berlin Thanks. But I just removed and re-added the account (again), wiping password and cached mails on disk.

Same problem shows up immediately again.

I also removed any rules and mailing list entries before I did that, no luck either.

I might try backing up all my mails later and wiping the account clean of any mails if nothing else helps, to see if a particular email causes this.

Cheers.

@jsark
You can create a test profile, add your account and check.
Create a new profile, close all tabs, close your default profile window, add account.

@mib2berlin Funky In a new profile, when I add my mail account, there is only a brief spike of CPU and then it goes down to 0,2% CPU load. This is probably the way, thanks. I guess I will need to start over with a new profile and configure all my things again, and maybe that way I can pin-point if/when the problem should begin again. Whenever I get around and if I find anything, I'll let you know here.

Have a good weekend.
