Hi, >> behaviour of IMAP with v3.5 as compared to v3.01? AM> I've been experiencing much better here.
Here it's worse then ever before. With v3.01, the connection would block at the start and resume after a few minutes of thinking (not transfering anything as evident from a line monitor). Now, I can have ten connections sitting there and not starting at all. Right now e.g. we have 15 minutes and counting. (Addendum: We are now at 20 minutes and counting.) Usually two tasks indicate the same connection number. Doesn't that sound hopfully. But of course, it's not that bad after all. The new interface is slower, yes, it crashes more often with and without one or more messages (we truly have every flavour here!), but then we can now look at the error messages in our own colouring theme. Isn't that something to celebrate. Well, at least when TheBat doesn't just quit in the blink of an eye without any warning. But this only happens about every five minutes or so, therefore - what the heck. That's of course a whole lot better than v3.01. Honest. Cheers on RITs newest accomplishment. AM> I'm using 2 connections here just fine. I've noted that if I use 4 or 6, AM> only 2 connections are being used at a time anyway. So I use 2 and still AM> have the same performance. I'm currently trying all ten connections in the hope that the more connections are specified, the sooner one of them will occasionally unblock. At the start it seemed as though this was correct as "something" started loading almost from the beginning. However, after this was done (whatever it was) on four connections, they quit and let the other six back in the dust like usual. The finished connections were not reused. AM> Our experiences differ. It's not that we're using the program to AM> do anything other than read/filter our mail and reply etc. as needed. That's my point exactly. How can you do this? It is just what I would like to do, could do with some hinderance in v3.01, and almost can do no longer with v3.5. It's a lot of "progress the other way" for me. AM> Note that I can't duplicate this experience at work where I have a AM> slower connection. I get frequent server disconnects. I don't get disconnects, I just get nothing. Tasks are started but are completed in a time frame of hours instead of seconds. Call me hard to please but I am not amused at this behaviour. Hey! TheBat finished checking! Timecount: 25 minutes to check a dozen folders with (altogether) about one hundered old and no new mails. Congratulations! Must have been very hard work! (I don't need to add that though all tasks have aparently been completed, still the Connection Center has not closed, do I?) -- MfG, Alto mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
