I’m reaching out to see if anyone else is facing the same headaches with Mailspring that I’ve been dealing with for a while now. Despite loving the software and even being a paying subscriber, I’m at my wit’s end here. Here’s what’s been happening:
Constant Freezing & Crashing: Mailspring often slows down to a crawl, freezes, and then crashes on me. I keep getting the “Mailspring not responding” message and end up having to kill the process and restart it. Super frustrating!
Message Archiving Glitches: Regularly, when I archive messages, some of them mysteriously end up in the trash. It’s like playing hide and seek with my emails.
I’m on Arch Linux, running Gnome 45.2, and I keep everything updated, so I’m stumped about what’s causing these issues. It’s getting to the point where I’m considering ditching Mailspring, which is a real bummer.
Has anyone else experienced these problems? Any tips or tricks that might help? Really appreciate any advice you guys might have!
I have also seen a thread where there is a description about sync issues particular with apple mail due to a wrongly implemented standard on their side.
Unfortunately, it is really hard to reproduce those issues and therefore hard to track down where the issue is and how to fix it. Any systematic issues that you see are highly appreciated for us to fix it. (Un)fortunately, I did not see any such problems on Ubuntu, Mac (both in productive use) or Windows (mainly for developing Mailspring fixes) so far and cannot help there for now.
For Me I have gmail, and some of my own servers too and mailspring is constantly freezing and coming back. Very annoying. The desktop file also needed a patch for --password-store=“gnome-libsecret” to be able to work.
I had to switch to thunderbird for now because mailspring randomly became unusable. It is a shame I have to keep a “backup client” on my machine. Please team fix this issue I hate thunderbird it is sooo ugly (even the beta) and I love the mailspring pro features!
