![]() Seems to me that the blame here rests on both Apple and the host (Hostgator and Bluehost are known to have this issue). Switch email clients to one that lets you limit the number of open IMAP processes. Sad as it is, the only solutions I can find to this issue are:Ģ. I feel bad for the people out there experiencing these issues, having no clue what is causing it, how to research it, or what to do about it. ![]() I have visited and re-visted the Apple forums over the last couple years, waiting for a solution. I had to move all of my accounts to Thunderbird again because my new host (HostGator) will shut my sites down while the two computers in my office access 4-5 accounts each. I say resort, not because it is bad software, but because I want to all of my Apple software and hardware to play nice together, as all of us do, and is the reason most of us spend 2x$ for Apple gear. I actually changed hosts and moved websites to address this problem and not have to resort to Thunderbird. The amount of connections Mail makes per account is out of this world and causes server wide problems. This has been tested on two totally different host, and one controlled and maintained by a family number. I am under the assumption that, even though IDLE is SUPPOSED to do something, it doesn't make a difference in the number of connections, at all. Mett the average consumers needs and wants, but ignore any advanced need. (Taking suggestions for that, too.)Īgreed, Absolutely ridiculous that this has not been addressed. Would appreciate any more suggestions before I switch to a completely different email client. (I also disabled the accounts on my iPod and iPad.) but I still have too many connections open on my hosting account. That meant two fewer open mailboxes for each of four different accounts. I also disabled notes and todos for each account (so the Apple Mail To Dos mailbox doesn't get created) and changed each account on my SpamSieve drone so that the Junk mailboxes were created on the Mac. I don't think adding it will make a difference, but you could try.) If that key is missing the Use IDLE If Available checkbox will be disabled. (There's a key in that controls this setting: I stopped using IMAP-IDLE with no change in behavior. ![]() The new host identified the problem as being too many connections (processes) open to the server. Actually, it got worse, because my personal website (running Drupal) would go down. I thought the problem was a change at the web host, but they said "no." Not believing them, I switched my site and my wife's to a different host and the problem continued. This started for me back in August the net effect then was that one of my two desktops running Mail could not connect (I have one machine that does things like act as a SpamSieve drone) and my wife couldn't get her mail, either. ![]() As a result, doing my mail on my mobile devices after an hour or two becomes rather time consuming.I'm going to bump this as well. Today, I noticed that as soon as my MBA sleeps, SpamSieve processing stop as well, filling my inbox with spam. One iPhone, one iPad and one Android phone from which I do email while away from my computer. The only reason to keep Mail.app running would be so that the computer also can work as a Drone.īut for that to happen, Mail.app must be do the spam filtering, right? But does that mean that I’ll also have to use Mail.app to tag missed mails as Junk/Non-junk as well? Yes, just one Mac where I probably will switch to MailMate as my primary email client. In that case, it does not matter which one is running SpamSieve, but one of them must be if you want to have filtering. I thought you had one Mac running both Apple Mail and MailMate. You could potentially run the regular SpamSieve rule in Apple Mail as well, instead of having MailMate process the incoming messages. ![]()
