As i recall, that's by design, not poor performance. This way you can quickly move the arrow keys through a few messages to one you want to read, without being slowed down by every intermediate message downloading (in the case of IMAP) and displaying in Preview Pane. I think it's a good solution. A "beat" is not very long - maybe one second. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
