Hi Roelof Otten, Saturday, May 13, 2006 you let us know -possibly edited- :

I think > that's the reason that the export slows down. Hm... wouldn't it be a faster way if TB wouldn't export them one by one but writing the mails without any stop? -if it's possible at all. Anyway, 90 minutes is way too long to export this amount of mails. > BTW I think it would be very sloppy programming when the number > checking would be skipped, after all there could be another program > that's writing to the same directory. Number checking is alright, but I know apps that lock a folder that is currently in use, so I guess that my idea above isn't bad at all.

So TB looses speed because the search for free numbers is swallowing more and more time? I am not sure that this search process should legitimate TB's CPU hunger for such a long time.

Do we agree that there is room for improvement in mail processing concerning the export transfer rate? -- kind regards Charlene Ferrara mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.80.06 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Skype: charleneferrara ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.80.06 | '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/
