I have folders on IMAP, with just 40 emails in them, yet they read in library at 40GB. I move them to "on my computer" and then it's just 60mb. What is this? I can't even begin to understand. thanks.

Where do you see this 40 GB size?

Thanks, Steve, sorry email notification is not working I guess now.

I think it self corrected, but IMAP and mail is just a crazy mess. I will never upgrade an OS on time ever again.

New related issue though: When I do a send again, the from is from an account I hardly ever use, not the one I want to show. I've read every article on re-arranging accounts nothing works. New email is ok, but when do send again, puts wrong account in from field. Any guesses?

Seriously, load times are crazy, emails are not updating. Why do they do this to us?
