Does QIE lock the database when purging messages?

Question

When QIE purges messages, it seems like the database is locked, and QIE hangs.  Is there some way to prevent this locking?

Answer 1

Use the following Java option:

-Dqie.purgePolitely=true

This will purge messages one at a time so the database is not locked.  Eventually, this will become the default purge method.

for addtional details, see the QIE install Guide.  The QIE Install Guide is available under the Help menu in QIE.
