They should transfer the full 600 MByte as well, else they don't "full synchronize" ;-) There's no way you can't get the 600 MByte to your client PC, except transferring them and therefore fetching them from the servers hard disk. >>Nevertheless: can you figure out what IMAP-server-software your ISP is >>using?

SH> They use Uw-Imap. *uh* IIRC I've already read other people using this server as well and not reporting this kind of "problem", so maybe there's something in their server setup that causes this kind of problem. Anybody out there with a running Uw-Imap who can test the load when big mailbox is synchronized? Would spare me to set up an Uw-Imap server ;-) -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v3.51.10 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2) In marriage, as in war, it is permitted to take every advantage of the enemy. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.51.10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
