I don't normally use the Connection Centre since things happen so fast when connecting to MDaemon and I don't normally send large attachments. I decided to enable CC to see what was happening. Turns out that relaying the attachment to MDaemon is a surprisingly slow process. The transfer rate to MDaemon maxed out at 57.6Kb/sec, so it took 5 mins!! for MDaemon to collect a 10MB attachment. POP retrieval is, however, a lot faster, i.e., over 750Kb/sec. The first attachment I experimented with was 60+ megabytes and I simply didn't give it anywhere the time needed for the transfer (what I thought was a loop was really a slow transfer in progress). The other thing that is very useful is to configure TB! not to bind attachments until it's ready to send. This impacts greatly on performance when sending large attachments since a lot of time and intense CPU usage is spent binding the attachment from the outset. Anyway, I patiently waited for transfers to take place and successfully sent and received a 10MB attachment. This is after enabling not binding attachments until sending (at TB!'s end), and also enabling the 'POP command immediately removes message from outbox' option in MDaemon's miscellaneous options. - -- �Allie C Martin �� List Moderator (and fellow end-user) PGP Key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=PGPPubKey1 [MUA: TB! 1.54/10 (*) OS: Win2K SP 2] __ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (MingW32) Comment: Sealed for Security iEYEARECAAYFAjvZ5+YACgkQV8nrYCsHF+KITACfdqOU0ymkHsqV77Vk2PUbXcf+ jA0An32U64pfyaBN/8Zh7OaeFQ3wXTUQ =3xy1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
