Tip: Speed up Mail.app

[mrzeve]

Found this tip on The Unofficial Apple Weblog and its great.

Basically shrinks your mail database size without losing any information. Even a .4mb decrease makes the speed much much much faster.

Heres how you do it:

1. Quit Mail.

2. Open Terminal.

3. Type the following:

cd ~/Library/Mail
sqlite3 Envelope\ Index
sqlite> vacuum subjects;

When the sqlite prompt returns, type Control-D to exit.

Restart Mail and enjoy the extra speed.
