The unified inbox query (WHERE folder = ?, no accountId) has no folder-leading
index, so it scans in timestamp order and materializes the whole unified inbox
(~4k rows at a 20k cache) into memory on every emission. Apply Paging 3 to the
unified browse path so query, mapping, and recomposition cost scale with the
visible window, not the total cache.
- MessageDao.pagingUnifiedFolderSummaries: a PagingSource over the folder's
synced rows (inInbox = 1); unified search keeps the whole-folder query so it
can still surface transient server-search hits.
- MailRepository.pagedUnifiedFolderMessages: a Pager (pageSize 40, initialLoad
120, no placeholders) mapping summaries to domain.
- MailboxViewModel.pagedMessages: paged while browsing the unified inbox, else
empty; the messages list flow stays empty in that state so the whole cache is
never materialized. Selection captures each row's accountId at tap time, so
"Move" still resolves the selection's account without an in-memory list.
- MailboxScreen renders the unified browse list via collectAsLazyPagingItems;
per-account and search views render the flat list unchanged (issue #86 stays
flat).
Profiling (docs/perf/issue-124-unified-inbox-paging.md) on an api29 emulator:
current whole-inbox first-emit ~24.6 ms at a 20k cache vs. the paged first page
~6.8 ms and flat regardless of cache size (~3.6x). EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN shows the
paged query still stops early on the existing timestamp index, so no
(folder, ...) index and no schema migration are added.
