GREGMC  Before app bashing this simple little tool, please remember us mortal Mac users. SpeedMail is written for people like me and I am very grateful that there are developers out there who understand that there are Mac users who never open Terminal, let alone type in it.

GAOSHAN  The app is identical to VacuumMail ( http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24410/vacuummail )

You can also open Terminal and type:

sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum;

SpeedMail and VacuumMail are wrappers for simple, one-line terminal commands. Nothing more.

AMALGAMATED INC  I was a bit wary, but because I had just done a full mail back up...i tried it. Very noticeable speed improvement! Always wondered why there wasn't any optimizing app for all the data files Mail.app manages. GREAT JOB. Keep It Up!

WALKI-TALKI.COM  How do I turn off this indexing? It seems as if I can no longer search the bodies of messages. If that is a consequence of this command, it would be nice to reverse it.

1802  How much noise about a simply tool!

SpeedMail run a terminal command

sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\\ Index vacuum

for compress SQL database of Mail. That's all.

Have a good SpeedMail experience!

JMAHON24  I'm not an expert with computers so I appreciate any help I can get. My mail was slow, now with this routine it's 100% better. If you're so smart, why didn't you write a routine which would help other owners like myself.

WHAT THE?  JMahon24 if you are so rich why don't you pay the developer to write you a routine that would help 'other owners?' like yourself.

SPIDERMAN rules!

HAL2007  Speeding up Mail sounds great. But I won't install or run this, until I know what it actually does. I don't want to lose my database... Please add that missing information, and I'll give it a try. Thanks.
