But I haven't had a big "catch-up" like you did, nor did I have IMAP before I had Entourage X. I can go check on Entourage 2001 however. Also I have a fast ADSL connection. I will connect up my iBook to this connection, which needs a few weeks of catch-up on the same IMAP account, and I'll see what happens. > > 2.

I don't see it to anywhere near the degree you've been seeing, nothing that troubled me too much - just seemed like general OS X behavior, but turning Live Sync off has indeed speeded things up. > > Thanks in advance for any advice.
