349953 - Very slow at deleting e-mails. Takes about 5 seconds to delete just ONE e-mail

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.13) Gecko/20060414

When I delete my e-mails I no longer need, I press the Delete button, which then freezes the e-mail for about 3 to 5 seconds, per e-mail, and deletes it!
If I select about 10 e-mails to delete, it takes the same time to delete all 10 of them as it does to delete one e-mail. So the problem looks like the initalising of the deleting process of the e-mail(s).
I am using Windows XP-64!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to email and download them.
2.When read, delete the unwanted e-mail(s).
3.Wait up to 5 seconds for each e-mail to be deleted.
4.Also try it with multiple unwanted e-mails.
Actual Results:  
It took about 5 seconds to delete the e-mail!

Expected Results:  
Deleted the e-mail instantly. I.e. 5/100 of a second.

This did NOT happen in Windows 98, 98SE, ME or Linux.
The e-mail deletion was instant.
Definately looks like a 64-bit problem.
With the greatest respect. It does the job. But I do not want to spend all evening deleting e-mails.

Thank you.

PS  I sorry to say I have gone back to Outlook Express until this is fixed!!!!

Dennis, need details...

Is your mail system imap? 
Does the problem also happen with local folders or just imap?
Which folders?

If you are deleting from inbox, what size is your inbox.msf (see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder )?
and what happens after deleting inbox.msf?

What results do you get with seamonkey trunk 
  http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk/
or soon to be released 1.1 http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8/

Sorry Wayne. I thought I did answer this ages ago with an email.

The SeaMonkey cured all the problems, and is still going strong. A very good program.

Thank you very much for you're help.

Best regards.

Dennis.
