I see that all of your are complaining about file io performance on mozilla mail. I have this problem too. I am running win2k, sp1 McAfee antivirus.
McAfee seems to be the problem! If I disable it my mail client returns to normal, ie. it opens, closes, deletes and sends mail several orders of magnitude faster! I used to use Norton Antivirus but it slowed my access to a remote Microsoft Visual SourceSafe repository to a crawl. There is probably a common thread (bug) there somewhere, but for the moment I am going to run without any antivirus software when I am using mail. It's risky, but not as risky as using Outlook! wcn Samson Luk wrote: > Seth, > > The page that you refer to only mention Windows95/98 and NT but I am > using Windows 2000.
