Mail.app Is Slow
So with 20972 messages in my Mail.app inbox, things were getting kinda slow. I looked to the West in search of a speed fix and found this Hawkwings.net post. Super!
The Fix Fails
Big problem: instead of the sqlite vacuum command vacuuming away my troubles as I dusted my Web Development trophy shelf, it coughed, choked and spat this error: SQL error: constraint failed. Huh? I dropped my duster.
There are literally hundreds of comments in that Hawk Wings post about happy Mail.app users gong from slow to go! And only two responses mentioning my error, neither of which cast light on getting around it.
So sullenly I went around the web looking for answers, turning over rocks, and generally knowing that if there were a real-life desert analog to this, my carcass would be getting picked over by vultures about now, if there were even vultures in this desolate landscape.
