------- 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. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
