You are partially correct. It doesn't retrieve all the messages, but just certain headers on all the messages in the INBOX. This is needed so that we can calculate how many items per page, and who the mails were sent from, the date, and the subject. To try speeding it up a little bit, try turning ON server side sorting. To do this, run conf.pl and go to option #4 and change Server-Side sorting. This should speed things up a bit. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
