That seems like a reasonable outcome if you are only taking watermarks periodically. If the watermark was updated frequently (such as each open and close), wouldn't the problem be diminished for mailboxes that were selected frequently? Also the obvious point that where this feature benefits the most is exactly where it is needed the most. I have more than a few folders with >4000 messages in them, and those folders take a very long time to open whenever there is any significant latency or bandwidth constraint. -- Eric A.
