Hi TBUDL,
I have noticed that when sending or receiving (i.e.: opening) messages
with attachments of a size greater than 1mb or so that TB! tends to
eat big chunks of RAM and the system thrashes quite a lot and becomes
unresponsive until it has finished its task.
Are there any known issues regarding sending attachments greater than
a few hundred K in size. Although for the wider email community
pushing large ammounts of data through email is not the most efficient
use of resource it is an important and necessary part of our internal
setup here and I am send/receive large files (~10mb) to and from my
colleagues. (Obviously our internal POP servers are quite good.)
So far, I have found using TB! to be very troublesome in this area. I
also noted delay problems in displaying messages in some of my folders
but I assume the section in the FAQ on TB!'s use of the 'default win32
heap manager' is the 'self-explanatory' answer to this. (Um big-heap
problem by the sound of it!)
If you have any ideas I'd be glad to hear them. (Nice ones only of
course.)
Cheers,
Mark
