Hi BatGroup, I think I have resolved the slow mail issue, at least it appears so. When cleaning up TB trying to determine why mail processing was so slow, I had had deleted two add-in's previously (MyMacros,Shell) but somehow they did not get removed. Going through the Options/Preferences settings one last time, I noted that the two add-in's were back. So I deleted them again, restarted TB and checked to make sure they were gone..they were. Checking mail, normal reading speed had returned, although receiving still appears slower that other clients (Outlook,Thunderbird,Eudora,etc). I'm not sure which of the two add-in's would be impacting mail processing so negatively but it appears one or both were the reason mail was so slow.
I have the MsgCenter visible during receiving and will test to see if having inactive will speed up the process. What other options impacts receiving and posting mail to the folders and subsequent reading?? I think I can put this one away now...:'( Thanks for all the suggestions and help from everyone who responded... -- Kyle TheBat! 4.0.14.2 Windows XPPro 5 1 Build 2600 SP2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.0.14.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
