I have no problems with sylpheed, and only use imap. It only brings down new headers. However, I think that people with 100,000 emails in a single folder may also need to look inwards for the cause of the problem (: By shockwave, I assume you mean flash? It's now owned by adobe, and there is no 64 bit support. You can use the 32 bit player with ndispluginwrapper... here's an example link: http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/64-bit/flash64.shtml hth, Steve -- Steve Holdoway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
