3. cd ~/Library/Mail
4. sqlite3 Envelope\ Index
5. at the 'sqlite>' prompt, enter 'vacuum subjects;' and then 'vacuum;'

  • ∞ edit hosts file on Mac 
    f you want to edit your hosts file to force your computer to use your (gs) Grid-Service to load antiochnorman.com then you will need to follow the instructions below in Terminal.  

cd /etc
sudo vi /etc/hosts

Now add a record for DOMAIN.com with the IP address set to XX.XX.XX.XX by pressing 'i' to insert and arrow down to the end of the file.  Then add your record, it should be in the following format:

XX.XX.XX.XX    DOMAIN.com

After the record is added press 'Esc' then save with ':wq!' so that it will actually overwrite the file.
