Months ago there was a report that SeaMonkey was re-scanning some plug-in (or extension?) directory every time it switched to display a different e-mail message. My vague recollection was that there was setting to directly disable the automatic scanning (or some way to list plug-ins/extensions to indirectly stop the scanning). > Would there be any problem > re-installing an older version to see if the issue goes away?

I compacted the folders and did not see any change in performance. Thinking out loud...the mail is already downloaded to my laptop...So, mail messages are just being selected for display.Is there any other background process or checking that is going on? My mailbox has 1000 messages in it. thanks ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Ray, at the moment, I have mine set to 1000kbytes. The "right" setting will depend on how much mail you get at any one time. Maybe you could try 250kbytes! -- Daniel (using his sister's computer) (Test driving SM 2.x) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

How long have you been using 1.1.13? If that slowness is a recent experience, chances are very it's a local or regional thing. Might be your phone company, or your email client having problems. I never noticed that with 1.1.13, and I'm using that now. My mail is not acting oddly, and I'm on POP mail as well. From one highlighted message to the other when I reselect a new message only takes about 3/4 second... Good luck with that. keith whaley ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
