Not a real solution if you dont have your own mail server, but I moved |
| 2 |
the spam and filtering to spamassassin/procmail/amavis etc onto my own |
| 3 |
imap email server and turned off all filtering on that account. Now its |
| 4 |
not a problem for the main account. An interesting aside is it seems to |
| 5 |
take as long for the mail gateway to do its checks as evo does. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
However on my work accounts, Ive found turning off junk mail online |
| 8 |
tests sped it up a lot. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Other things that it sounds like you have tried. |
| 11 |
1. added a stop rule to each filter |
| 12 |
2. move the busiest filters to the top |
| 13 |
3. use a compound filter rather than separate ones (this assumes there |
| 14 |
is less overhead doing this - subjectively it does seem quicker) |
| 15 |
4. dont move/copy files to a remote mail account |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Most delays seem outside evo's control, though I acknowledge the filters |
| 18 |
themselves are not the fastest. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Lastly, due to my inbuilt laziness, I use suspend2 each night, leaving |
| 21 |
evo running on suspend. I use the bios clock to start the machine up at |
| 22 |
05:55 in the morning - when I stumble out of bed and stare blearily at |
| 23 |
the screen some time after the 6am alarm has gone off, the filtering is |
| 24 |
complete and my desktop is ready for use by the time the caffeine starts |
| 25 |
to work ... |
