Hello Anthony, > What exactly is TB doing when the Connection Centre says "Importing > messages," and why does it take 20 minutes?
TB downloads messages from the server to temp files and, when all are downloaded, it actually imports them into the message base. This is when filters, etc. are applied. 20 minutes is certainly an excessive amount of time. I would have to download thousands (many thousands) of messages to take that long. In one account I some time get well over 100 messages in a single connection and they are imported in a couple of seconds at most. You don't say what version of TB you are using (and if a beta, or not) and that may make a difference. Are you using any antiviral software? If so, have you tried to disable it and see if that makes any significant difference? Are you using many and very complex filters? How does your Temp directory look? Does it contain many (a huge number) of *.tmp files? If so, delete them while TB is not running. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
