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.

>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.
