   Thanks for this. I was going to set up my own, but now I don’t have to! :)

   Wish your workflow included quitting and reopening Mail around the sqlite command.

   Oops, I had uploaded the wrong version. The correct one is up, with quit/relaunch Mail. Sorry about that.

   Automator complained about a missing Quit Application (or something like that). So I replaced it with another Run Shell Script using:

   osascript -e ‘tell app “Mail” to quit’

   I suppose this could be added to the part that runs the sqlite3 command.

   Jim - I had removed the Quit action for that reason (which I didn’t realize was a 3rd party action, available here), and replaced it with the same Applescript step you posted.

   Wonderfull, wonderfull!! my Mail.app was getting soooo slow I was thinking of trying other email applications. Thought Mail couldnt handle that many emails…. Now, after using this Mail runs as smooth as when i started using it. No more waiting 15 secs when looking into another folder. And after this cleanup the envelope file is still +50 MB which, i get the impression, is quite big…

   thanks!

   YES YES YES YES!

   Holy cow… this is the greatest little app I’ve ever seen.

   Why doesn’t apple just make my mac do this on its own?

   The improvement in speed was INSTANT and AMAZING.

   Wow! Nice. Finally, I can use mail without fumbling around for the terminal and the vacuum script! SWWEEEEET.
