Hi list. I am currently using fetchmail to pull mail from my server and dump it in my local mail folder in Fedora so that with gKrellm I can see how many messages are waiting. The problem I'm having is that Evolution is so painfully slow to retrieve the messages from the local mail spool. And I mean unbearably slow. It normally takes 1 or 2 seconds per message to pull it from the spool and put it into evolution. Is this a known problem or should I try some troubleshooting steps to take this further? It's getting aggravating because on a weekend I can have as many as 1000 messages and it takes so long to retrieve them. Connecting via pop it only takes a couple of seconds.... Thanks. -=/>Thom
