That much? I find the performance hit using synchronisation is greater. Here, loading a message body typically takes about 1 second if that much. The larger bodies (HTML etc.) take under 5 seconds or rarely go above that. > I have been reading Guru Curtis (alias Allie) about how he filters > everything out of his inbox to avoid problems with the constant > changes in the inbox. Also noted that he does server side filtering. Gary doesn't filter all messages from his Inbox and his major problems have disappeared. My not keeping messages in the Inbox is a personal habit of mine taken from POP. The side-effect was that the IMAP problems while working with a busy Inbox didn't affect me. Anyway, the point is now moot since that issue seems to have been laid to rest.. finally. :) > Well being the rogue that I are, (and the fact that I am testing) I > decided I would have everything filter to my TB folder as well as do > some color grouping, but only using TB's filtering features. Does colour grouping really work?

All these steps were slowing things down. Another way your filters can bog down TB! is if you're searching for strings in the message body. So TB! will filter only when the message bodies are retrieved. > My new setting, is to only sync All Messages in TB folder and things > are much faster now as my messages do not have to sync with the Inbox > along the way. Any validity to this theory or is it completely out to > lunch? I think you're right on this. The less folders you set to sync at intervals, the better the overall performance. -- -= Curtis=- Using TB! v3.60.02 Forerunner (Beta) System Specs: http://specs.aimlink.name =-=-= ......file not found.
