OK Tim, to find out if TB is really the culprit, and why, we need to repeat
the comparative tests with all paramaters exactly the same with all three
e-mail clients. I suggest therefore you try the download tests with all of
the following in place:
1. Your anti virus programme turned off.
2. AntiSpamSniper and any other antispam programme turned off.
3. All message filtering turned off.
4. Any firewall programme turned off.
To try to avoid any 'nasties' download first with your antvirus still
operating, but 'leave messages on the server'. Then run your tests as
quickly as possible thereafter with the antivirus turned off.
If you will be kind enough to do as I suggest and let us all know the
results we will then take it from there.
Good luck!
