Yes, it appears that this is the case. <snip> > Sounds as though your connection is medium speed to slow. In such > instances I'd recommend limiting automated requests.

Actually, all the IMAP servers are local on gig ethernet. Speed is not an issue. I will admit some of the speed issues are the result of my TB settings. I have had so many problems with IMAP synchronizations, I finally flush all the caches on exit so, on the resultant start-up, everything has to be restored. I also have autosync turned on. But, it is still significantly slower than Outlook or Thunderbird. <snip> > You could have it both ways if you're on an LAN and move from machine > to machine on the LAN.

I understand what you are saying and that is how I work (exclusively with IMAP) so my point was more of working with a centralized and remote (even on a LAN) message store versus a local POP message store. -- Best Regards, Kevin Using The Bat! v2.12 Beta/7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1
