Using 1&1 IMAP server it used to take me over 30 minutes at first boot to
get to read my first message. Each message would take in excess of 45
seconds to 2 minutes to display and 90% of the time I used to spend looking
at "Connecting to server, please wait" popups. Maybe it was these delays
that were causing TB! delete problems?

I thought it was odd having to wait so long, especially with a 2Mb Broad
Band connection and was often very close to giving up IMAP in favour of
POP.  Since changing to FM it's every bit as fast as POP or reading mail
from local folders. Whole message lists appear in fractions of a second and
full bodies display twice as quick as that, I'm well impressed... And it
fully supports user defined labels.

All that speed and function for the same cost per year as one 50g packet of
tobacco or 3 and a half pints of beer for MAU's benefit :)

I've not yet tried it with TB to see what effect it'll have on expungement,
neither have I delved into sieving or server side filters yet. Does TB
support sieving?

My sincerest thanks to Manuel Breitfeld for talking me into trying it :)
