>How are you measuring The number I gave was an approximation. I am sending messages of known length to myself, and measuring the amount of time that Outlook Express's progress meter shows the "Receiving message" caption (as opposed to "Connecting," "Receiving list of messages," etc.) Although the number is not exact, it should be close.
JAMES 1.2.1 was *much* faster. For example, I can retrieve a 100k message from JAMES 1.2.1 in under a second, but the same message takes around 8 seconds from 2.1a1. Whether retrieving a single long message or several shorter messages, the results are pretty similar. >and can you reproduce? It happens consistently on one machine. I have not tried to reproduce it on others. The machine it's happening on is a Pentium 233 with 384MB RAM, running Windows 2000 and JDK 1.3.1. The problem occurs not only over a network connection, but also when retrieving the mail on the same machine JAMES is running on.
