AM> How often do you have TB! set to refresh folders? AM> How often do you have TB! set to do periodic checking. On the most critical account, these were both set at 5 minutes. On other accounts these were set at longer times, using different prime numbers of minutes for each account (a practice I developed a few years ago to avoid too many multiple connections).

Tonight I've changed some to "new Headers only" to see if that makes a difference. I suspect most of my problem is expectations. When I was using POP, I used to start up the computer, then go and do other things (make coffee) until my mail downloaded. With IMAP, I connect to the internet and almost immediately the message list shows all the new messages. So I don't go and make coffee; instead I click on the first message, and then have to wait for it to download, which may involve waiting for other tasks. I'm still downloading the same data as when I used POP (and therefore the download time ought to be the same) -- it's just a matter of when the download time occurs. -- Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.0 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
