Can we get a jstack while it’s doing it? Then we could tell what is going on.

I tried but failed because of:

Hey @mwiegand,

Thanks both. We looked at the thread dump (useful!) and it’s indeed fetching data/emails but the progress bar reports nonsense. From the ticket description:

Moving this ticket from QA to AP. The problem is bad progress reporting. The user configures to read 100 emails from an inbox with 5000+ emails. The progress was calculated based on the total number of emails (5000) instead of the number of emails to be retrieved (100): The progress then started at (5000-100)/5000 = 98%, which is confusing.

The 5.3.0 release train has already departed so this will probably end up in 5.3.1 and 5.4.0.

Thanks for the report!
