Usually, it would take that long because I had three or four hundred Emails stored in other folders in Keymail. Even though I knew perfectly well this was a bad idea, I love to collect, and I was pretty bad at making myself delete stuff. [LOL!] I still am now that I have an mPower, I currently have close to three thousand Emails stored in Keymail, and it's behaving amazingly similar to my classic. [Grin.] If I started with an empty Keymail database, things did, indeed, go much faster, and I could download three hundred Emails in less than an hour. This wasn't often the case, though, so I was almost always resigned to a long wait. [Grin.] Thanks for making these good points, you're awesome!

I am surprised by this message. Before I started using my mPower, I used a classic. It would take me maybe 30 minutes to download that much E-mail. I can't imagine it take three hours, without questioning my ISP, or looking at the connections. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Sarah Cranston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] >Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 10:36:11 -0500 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] email extremely slow! >Yes, with a classic, 350 messages in four or five hours is pretty normal, unfortunately. I got around some of this by downloading some of my mail, around 100 messages or so, pressing escape to interrupt the download, pressing y to abandon the current operation, reading and deleting as much mail as possible, then going and getting another batch of 100 messages or so. Keep the database space freed frequently. Also keep in mind that, if you store a lot of mail in folders in Keymail, this will slow down the whole process. This is because Keymail has to sort through all the stored mail every time you add to the database. >HTH. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
