Another thing I've noticed is setting them (the clients) to check "all" imap folders will slow it down. If you're not filtering on the server side, you can turn that off. There won't be any "new" mail in any of the other folders until it's placed there by the current session. So you can save some time there.On Wed, January 22 2003 2:15 am, Stefano Pogliani wrote:Why IMAP clients on Linux (Mozilla, Evolution especially !!!) are much slower than using IMAP clients on Windows (on the same Linux IMAP folders) ? It seems strange, but it is much quicker to work from a remote Windows machine than from a local Linux one! There is certainly something I am missing. TIA /Stefano
Because most windows IMAP clients actually download all the mail to your
local machine, and then you are working locally, and most linux IMAP clients
are PURE IMAP clients.. NO local stuff, so it's always working over the
network, hence the "speed" issue.
I've noticed that Evolution is much slower than Mozilla though.
