Imap gmail slow

SuiteCRM Forum - English Language
#1

I’ve upgraded a suitecrm 7.6.7 to 7.12.2 and users complain when using the email module to see their mails in gmail because it is too slow (more than 50 seconds to get 75 email headers).

Every user config his profile to connect with gmail mailboxes via imap.

Debugging the problem I see many slow queries to the email table.

I have one million records on the email table and I don’t see index created to assigned_user_id or uid. Should I create index for these columns?

One million records on the emails table is a lot. Do you really need all that email inside the CRM? Sometimes people find clever ways of limiting the email that comes into the CRM, use folders so you can leave it on the server if you don’t really need to import it, or clean-up old stuff, etc.

#3

Well… we use SuiteCRM from 2009 (from sugarcrm). All emails in this table are mails that users considered were relevant for their leads. Users just import from gmail mails they consider important. I suppose other mails will be those that users sent to the leads with email templates from the leads detail screen.

I haven’t a good criteria to remove emails because I could remove relevant emails.

One million of emails are a lot… but… Why is SuiteCRM quering so many times to the mails table with the same mailbox_id? I don’t understand why that is required when users just want to read their gmail inbox in order to decide if they need to import some emails related with their leads.

If so many queries are really required… may be some extra index is missing in this table.

Many of the queries are identical and repeated… and all of them referenced to the same mailbox_id… maybe we could get the same with just one query.

I think that something could be optimized.

Nobody else is dealing with one million of records in the email table? I think my company is medium-low size… many years using the same CRM but not a big company. We just receive 200 new leads every day…

In SuiteCRM 7.6.7 the same user can access to his gmail inbox mails in a few seconds… whit the same million record in the email table. I think something is wrong in newer SuiteCRM version with this.

Try the indexes. They might make a substantial difference in performance. There are many other performance things you can try (sometimes all the server needs is a bit more memory, for example, or a faster disk).

But none of those things will decrease the number of queries made. You might be right, some of that might be useless work, something that needs to be improved in SuiteCRM.

Still, I advise you to consider more carefully your clean-up options. You should be able to get some criteria going. Like: emails older than 5 years, or emails with leads that haven’t bought from you in the past 3 years, or whatever.

Email is a messy business and it always tends to spin out of control. Gmail is really not an appropriate comparison because that is a whole different scale. In fact, it’s the cloud email services that made us all lazy in our handling of internally stored email… and created expectations for speed and capacity that are very hard to fulfill.

Oh, and I almost forgot

Remember the basics:

  • delete rows that have “deleted=1”

  • delete rows that are orphaned (nothing refers to them, or they don’t refer to anything still present in the system).

This is because sometimes most of the stuff taking up space in the database is really 100% useless. Emails you already deleted, or belonging to accounts and contacts you already deleted.

Thank you @pgr. Very few records with deleted=1 where found. I suppose this is cleaned with the monthly schedule for this job.

Adding this index dramatically increase performance for me in my environment.

CREATE INDEX idx_email_uid ON emails(uid);

The same user now loads his inbox in just 1 second (before 54 seconds). Obviously the 54 slow queries in my first comment are still been run but now they are fast. I still think many of them are not required but I haven’t enough knowledge with this. I think that I will open an issue in the github tracker for this.

I have created the index directly in the database but I don’t know if I should declare the index in some vardef file in the custom directory… is it possible?

Docs talking about vardefs (Vardefs :: SuiteCRM Documentation) show how to add indices in /module/emails/vardefs.php , but this is a core module so I think this could be rewritten in future upgrades…

Any way to do the same in the custom directory or is OK to do it just in MariaDB CLI?

Thank you.

your indexes do look different to mine: I have one for ‘assigned_user_id’. But none for uid

Also - email handling changed - in the past 100% of inbound emails were saved in the tables.

Since 7.9 NO inbound emails are saved in tables - UNLESS the user clicks ‘IMPORT’ for them. The user can still see their INBOX emails - which are pulled live over IMAP.

Text from the page below:

Prior to version 7.9, **SuiteCRM** had to synchronise the email headers before users could view them. As of version 7.9, **SuiteCRM** contacts the email server directly - retrieving only the minimal information needed to process an operation. This eliminates the synchronisation process and significantly reduces amount of email information needed to be stored in the database.

Note to developers and administrators: The 'email_cache' table is deprecated in **SuiteCRM** 7.9.

Caching emails in Version 7.13?

If your users are sales people - generally they SEND a lot more emails than RECEIVE.

If they are customer support - it could be evenly balanced.

If they are sales people who used the Campaign modules to send emails… then it can be worse 100 to 1 SENT to RECEIVED. Do a query to look at email subject-lines: bulk campaign emails will have many with the same text; on the same date.

@isaacmarco great to hear it had such a positive impact. I agree it would be nice to put this into the core product, it seems like a generic need.

For now, you can put your index in the vardefs. When you use the Extension Mechanism, changes from several sources are combined and merged, and they are upgrade-safe.

Remember to run a QR&R, and scroll down to bottom to execute the query making changes to the database (although maybe in your case they are already there).

I am not sure what or where Version 7.9 is, however, I have just installed 7.13 and would like all emails to be cached (stored in MariaDB tables). Is this possible?
