Pop Peeper Message Limit for IMAP Accounts?
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2020 7:42 pm
Probably a really basic question, but over the years, I have noticed a long delay from when I launch Pop Peeper to when it actually becomes available for use. I suspect that one reason is the increasing number of messages in several of my accounts (combined there are more than 40,000 messages). I have reduced the number of displayed messages in my POP3 accounts, but I haven't yet done so with my IMAP accounts (most of which are Gmail). Currently there is no number entered in the "Message limit" box for these accounts. Two questions related to changing this number:
- Will entering a number in "Message limit" box in the Advanced settings (maybe down to a combined total of about 2500-3000 messages) noticeably speed up the loading of Pop Peeper?
- On the IMAP/Gmail accounts, will reducing this number have any effect on the messages accessible from the source Gmail accounts? I suspect not, but since I've never tried this with an IMAP account, I just want to be certain.
