Definitely not slower. In fact, it seems even a bit faster. Maybe because the server is storing and accessing differently? Also, the progress bar on my email client just goes too fast now and only uses the last 1/4th of the bar so it is difficult to catch just what is being downloaded since it happens so quickly. Not sure why this is happening. Not sure I like that since I do prefer to see what is being downloaded in case somebody accidentally sent something with an inaccurate date and it goes somewhere in the middle of the incoming mail list. > > And also note that it's better for you to save a copy of your own email on > your own media.

Guess I'm gonna have to figure out a more permanent solution for my DAT soon. Dave -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
