@subsection Opening messages is slower than expected - why?
|
||||
@t{mu4e} is designed to be very fast, even with large amounts of mail.
|
||||
However, if you experience slowdowns, here are some things to consider:
|
||||
@itemize
|
||||
@item opening messages while indexing:
|
||||
@t{mu4e} corresponds with the @t{mu} server synchronously; this means
|
||||
that you can do only one thing at a time. The one operation that can
|
||||
take a bit of time is retrieving/indexing of mail, during which you
|
||||
have to wait for messages to open. For some strategies to reduce that
|
||||
time, see the next question.
|
||||
@item getting contact information can take some time:
|
||||
especially when opening @t{mu4e} the first time and you have a
|
||||
@emph{lot} of contacts, it can take a few seconds to process those.
|
||||
Note that @t{mu4e} 1.3 and higher only get @emph{changed} contacts in
|
||||
subsequent updates (after and indexing operation), so this should be
|
||||
less of a concern.
|
||||
@item decryption / sign verification:
|
||||
encrypted / signed messages sometimes require network access, and this
|
||||
may take a while; certainly if the needed servers cannot be found.
|
||||
Part of this may be that influential environment variables are not set
|
||||
in the emacs environment.
|
||||
@end itemize
|
||||
|
||||
If you still see unexpect slowness you can of course file a ticket,
|
||||
but please be sure to mention the following:
|
||||
|
||||
@itemize
|
||||
@item are all messages slow or only some messages?
|
||||
@item if it's only some messages, is there something specific about them?
|
||||
@item in addition, please a (sufficiently censored version of) a message that is slow
|
||||
@item is opening @emph{always} slow or only sometimes? When?
|
||||
@end itemize
|
||||
|
||||
@subsection How can I view attached images in my message view buffers? See
|
||||
@ref{Viewing images inline}.
|
||||
@subsection How can I word-wrap long lines in when viewing a message?
