You see when OE downloads a message it displays the time when it was received by my server as the message's time. There's just one thing about TB I'm trying to figure out a fix for. I've been using OE for almost a decade so I kinda feel a bit sad right now, but I'm sure I'll quickly fall in love with TB So far it looks very good and very promising.

Interesting thing is my PC seems to work better as a whole right now and I have no idea why would that be.Īnyways - I'm with TB now and I'm pretty happy.
So after I imported into TB I deleted some attachments using a pretty cool add-on called Attachment Extractor ( ) and freed up even more space. The only difference was that just before I did the switch OE prompted to compact the folders. The database itself was the same size as OE. I have no idea what happened but this time the importing went fast and smooth. and I must say - this time it was a success! I tried switching to TB for the 10th time probably. So speed comparison of POP3 clients can not be really done. If sometimes some mails are downloaded slowly, then best check the mailserve by telnet access, you will see, also then mails will come down slowly, since this means the server ist simply overloaded at that moment. To delete 50 mails form average POP3 server can take often more then one minute, delte 50 mails local is matter of seconds.Ĭomparing speed, you need only to measure how fast the mails are stored on the local storage media. Remamber, it is simple ascii commands sent back and for, one by one, confirmed one by one.

The deleting of the mails goes also same speed, much much much slower then any mail client software can act. And this one is not the fastest communication mean, the mails need to be called up one by one regardless of mail client. But then all progs must be same, since the protocol used (POP3) is same in both cases. OK, when you the storage on the usb stick, there is a speed limit in how fast this can be stored on the stick. Hmm, I dont think you really find any mail program being slow or fast.
