Yeah, I originally wrote in (and later deleted for the sake of clarity) that I used to carry around my local settings folder. I had a dozen computers with the same software, and I hated my settings being changed every time I jumped on another computer (I naively thought that was the whole point of roaming profiles, hah!). Needless to say, it was less than optimal and didn't much work. And, now Gmail has IMAP, so I don't have to carry around my email store. = )
Outlook and OE are the only two brain-dead programs that I know that put critical data in the Local Settings folder by default.
I've used IMAP the last 6 years or so, so this is a non-issue for me.
DNS was my kneejerk reaction, too, but I thought that it would be good to mention small files which may or may not be in local settings. Another thought that just occurred, there seems to be a significant speed difference when the Web Client service is turned off. Many thanks to John Terpstra and Jelmer Vernooij for this tip in TOSHARG (the book is worth its weight in gold, and it isn't light!). With the Web Client service on, it almost feels like you've got a bit of browsing issue. --
Interesting - just checked, and googled on that service, and it does appear to be useless. I disabled it to see if I notice any difference - not that I was having any problems...
Network browins does seem a *little* snappier - hard to tell, though, since I never complained about it before...
