Slowing down
 
Almost everything in The Bat is slowing down now.
Having messages marked as read, message opening,
messages being sent, etc. etc.
Are there things I should be looking out for to correct this?
 
Try to purge+compact all folders (CTRL+C after click on folder). One by one and do that compacting for all.

I noticed this, too. A few things that can also help:
- Using the 32-bit version of TB (at least for v11.4.3, with some previous versions I had problems with the 32-bit version)
- Always using the HTML viewer in classic preview mode, both for text and HTML messages (to avoid switching between the two)
- After starting TB, browsing through some of the bigger and more often used folders, to allow the indexes to load to RAM
- Disabling the new indexer for the conversation view if you're not using it (the conversation view will actually keep working, but display only one message at a time)

EDIT: I noticed that the slowdowns mainly happen once the computer is turned on and Windows freshly boots. After a while when Windows and TB "get going", things work normally, even after putting the computer to sleep, or restarting TB. (Windows 10 22H2 64-bit)

There could be a few other things, if I remember any I'll edit the message.
