Hello Geoff Lane,

On  Tue,  4 Dec 2001 at Tue, 4 Dec 2001 GMT +0000 (which was 12/4/2001
8:21 PM where you think I live) you told to the list :

> I have two copies of TB installed on my network. The first copy runs
> on WinNT 4 with all folders local. The second copy runs on Win98 but
> the message base is on the NT machine, accessed via a mapped drive.
> The network is TCP/IP over 10-base-T.

I  do  that all the time (I am running multi O/S and multi PC in front
of me <G>).

> On  the  NT  machine,  TB  is very fast. On the Win98 machine, it is
> unacceptably  slow.  For  example,  it  takes  about five seconds to

> folder).  This  is  a  new  installation with only about 25 messages

> I don't want to store TB folders locally because of backup

That was I am thinking too :-)

Sounds  like  your  Win9x TCP/IP not well configure, it is still using
NETBEUI or NETBIOS protocol instead of pure Tcp/Ip or at least Netbios
Over  Tcp/Ip,  this  making  TB!  slow  while  resolving your POP/SMTP
server.

Check out your Network Configuration, especially the HOST name you set
on  TCP/IP  setting  /must/  same  as  Computer  Name on your Identity
setting.
