Is there any way to clear already downloaded mails?

What are you trying to achieve?

When I try to verify accounts, it spends hours and hours reading already read mails.

When I try to verify accounts, it spends hours and hours reading already read mails.

Sorry, can you just confirm. Do you mean emails the program has downloaded locally, checking through those, or mails on the server?

The program basically assumes the email account is used only for SCM email creation. If you have a massive history on the account, it can cause issues. Originally, the program would delete all mails, but then some people were trying to use their personal email and that caused - lets say "some issues" for the user.

But the program shouldn't be checking emails that have no chance of being the verification email (sent before the signup attempt - 24 hours to handle timezones)


So please confirm, exactly what you mean.
Submit logs, so I can see more clearly what is going on

and we can take it from there at how best to improve this for your usecase
