Thank you for this information. The problem I am having is not with the Mail.app so to speak, it just seems to be with all outgoing and incoming (SMTP/POP) connections in the Mail.app (which my wife uses) and PowerMail (which I use).
I am still looking into this trying to determine if some other piece of software is interfering as only one other people I have talked to has seen this happen. No one else is reporting it that I can tell. Its taking 30 seconds to download a 5k piece of mail, and connections are timing out to delays. -C -- Christian Meenaghan On Fri, 29 Apr 2005 11:13:35 -0500 Anthony Sanna said: >>>However, the one thing I am noticing, is that both PowerMail and Mail.app >>>are _extremely_ slow in downloading email now. > >This was documented with in a MacFixit report.
