I've seen Outlook fetching headers for like 100 new messages (from a 2000 messages box) in a matter of seconds on Monday morning fresh start; and it did it on 2 years old WS hardware plus 3 years old server hardware. But one must always remember that Outlook keeps a local copy of the headers in a PST file associated with that IMAP account. If that file resides on a badly fragmented FAT32 and/or the .pst file is approaching the 2GB limit "strange things start to happen". :-s ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
