------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-01-19 15:51 -------
I'm not sure what is being discussed here, but I definitely have a big problem
with POP3 access when I leave large quantities of messages on the server.  It
appears that Mahogany always downloads all messages and does not seem to
remember that I already downloaded them.  I mean, maybe it is just turtle slow
at reading the mail list on the server and is not really downloading them, but
this doesn't happen in any of my other mail clients.  AFAIC, this makes Mahogany
unusable.

I am on a dial-up also.  My comment may not be relevant to this bug as I see
delete commands being mentioned, but I want to reiterate that there are problems
in POP3 support that prevent users like me from seriously considering Mahogany.
I guess I can't believe that the interface is so non-intuitive.  It's not like
I'm a dummy.  A mail client needs to be intuitive for people who aren't
technically minded.  Not recollecting already downloaded mail is pretty basic
stuff, except I suppose if you incorrectly make the assumption that the POP3
is just like a local folder and you can reprocess the entire contents just
because you want to - which, by the way, if you ask me is a silly algorithm.

Local mailboxes also seem to do this.  Mahogany accesses all messages in the
folder when I open it.  Its no wonder POP3 is awful if it does the same with
it.  Access to local folders is also sluggish, and make me want to ditch
Mahogany.  Why is it so busy with folders?  Do all that stuff in the
background instead?  Maybe having to put what is being done on the screen
in a dialog is what makes it so slow?  I have a K6-2 500.  There is no reason
mailbox activity should be as slow as it is in Mahogany.
