It looks like the cause of the slowness is Microsoft's fault: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/oemail-osend/imap-access-to-hotmail-is-ungodly-slow/61c988b2-89f0-41d0-ade2-08c83b0cc3e2 But I'm still curious as to how the bottom of the inbox can be displayed instead of the top. If I scroll to the bottom manually during the 15 sec lag the new messages are there and I can access them. It's just that the default view is the top, where the oldest messages are located.
