Can we suggest a few tricks to make the bat! handle that load KS> easily? He could see how important it is for him to keep all of the mail he's storing. He could use archive folders without purge and compress settings for older mail. He should see whether there are a lot of messages in his inboxes that he could store elsewhere too. Large high traffic folders tend to slow TB (and most other mail clients too). I don't know whether he does purge and compress on a regular base, if he doesn't then he should do so more often. If he has purge and compress all folders on exit, then he could disable that (provided he has the self discipline to do it regularly manually) He could upgrade to 2.12, that runs on the same license as 2.06 and can still be downloaded from the Ritlabs site. I'm not sure what that does to the speed, but there would be more people here being familiar with what can and cannot be done with his version. -- Groetjes, Roelof I'm never difficult...Impossible maybe, difficult, never.
