Thank you, so I'm not that out of date. I like my Mac mail client
much for what you said. The web site is loading all the garbage. My
email client isn't. Plus you have to click all around on a web based
email to get it to do anything. If you have 10 or 15 emails that's no
big thing. But when it runs into the hundreds it's nothing but a hassle.
Oh and on to another thread, we've had a wind storm here for the past
two days. My internet connection has been spotty. My land line has
been consistent. Of course I live on the west coast and we might not
be as up to date as you in the east.

POP is faster because it doesn't have to do folder sync ... it just
sends whatever it's got in the inbox folder when it's polled. A lot
less to do so it happens faster.

I also find web mail so slow. I deal with hundreds of emails per
day. Yes, mostly spam, but they are so easy to deal with in a fast
email client as compared to using web mail.
And this may be a stupid question. I used to be an AT&T web
service tech. That was almost 10 years ago. I've forgot most, but
wasn't POP3 always faster then SMTP? Thankfully only for my only
measly little needs I no longer care much about this stuff. But on
occasion a question comes up. And if POP3 was faster, but no
longer, is it due to the wide spread use of HTML in email?
In deference to what it may seem due to my other past posts, I
like text, but only in email. Wait, I take that back. I also like
to receive a snail mail letter or card every once and awhile.
