Mailspring amazingly slow on Mac

Help
#1

Hi,

I’m giving a (new) try to Mailspring (Verison 1.16.0) on Mac (Sequoia 15.6)

I am surprised to see how Mailspring is slow. Every action takes seconds everytime (tens of seconds sometimes), even the simplest action like selecting a mail in the list.

I’ve read there are known issues with big mail databases.
I have a Gmail account with ~15GB of mails. This is a lot. Though none of the email clients I used so far seemed to have issue with this.

Is it true that Mailspring can not handle this set of mails?
Is there any wrong configuration I’ve done?

Thank you for your help
– Laurent

Post-edit:
In case it helps,

  • My Mac is a Macbook Air M4 2025 with 24GB
  • I run no plugin with Mailspring.

Find same delays/sluggish experience on MAC very 12.7 as well. Aldo found it to be slow on large mail files and smaller mail database equally poorly.

We can’t make a generality from our two cases.

Though, if it happens to others/all, how can people keep using Mailspring? To me, it is unusable unfortunately.

If does not happen to others, why does it happen to me?
I’d like to hear from people not having the problem.

Maybe Mailspring people can reply too?

Cheers
