Apple Mail, uses sqlite as the data storage for all the messages you send and receive in Apple Mail. After awhile, this data base gets blotted. When messages are deleted, the database doesn’t really shrink in size. So, it is good to clean it every now and then.

1. Open up Terminal
2. Enter the following command: /usr/bin/sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum3. Hit enter to run the command

I will be adding to the list as I encounter / resolve issues. I feel it best to separate these posts as to not to cause too much confusion in one long post.

How To Fix Apple AddressBook Freezing In Snow Leopard

October 12, 2009 By Matt 1 Comment

Are you having issues with Apple AddressBook after upgrading to Snow Leopard? Are you seeing the Beach Ball of doom show up each time you launch AddressBook?

If so this may be the solution you require….

1. Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book
2. Delete this file: AddressBook-V22.abcddb
3. Then open the MetaData subfolder
4. Search inside MetaData for the term “smart”

I then deleted any smart group that I knew contained a negative statement. The group I deleted was “No Group” as its looking for cards that have no group. Once you are done with this Apple Mail & AddressBook should work perfectly. My recommendation is NOT to add the smartgroup back in, until there is a fix.
