On some occasions, seemingly at random from the end user perspective, either logging in, loading a message, or sending a message can take upwards of 30 seconds. Searches are usually fine for me. Loading emails on my phone using IMAP also takes forever.
- iampims 16y ago“Checking for mail…” on my iPhone takes forever, on 3G or edge[1] but works mostly fine when on Wifi. In comparison, while waiting for new emails to be downloaded, I can download unread articles from Instapaper and fetching 200 new tweets on Twitter for iPhone. And most of the time, I don’t have new emails… it’s just the connection that takes forever. [1] this happens equally in bad network reception conditions and excellent network conditions.
- larsberg 16y agoDon't forget to configure the advanced IMAP settings for gmail. By default, you get the spam, sent items, and all mail folders as well -- disable them. Otherwise, it's hello to 2x copies of every message and re-scanning folders you don't care about...
- iampims 16y agoDo you think that the increase in latency for fetching new emails is correlated to the increase in labels used in gmail?
