How's the speed if you use browser access to owa?
That depends on the load on the server.
If I don't run filters, even evolution is fast. I can copy (move really
doesn't move) messages to my local mailbox, expunge the server inbox in
~2 minutes on 270 messages.
What if you either:
turn off automatically filtering, do the move to a local or imap folder
where you select the new messages and run the filters
or
let evolution run all the time with a frequent enough check for new mail
that there will only be a few new messages each time? And be sure the
inbox stays empty - Evolution may be doing a lot of work looking through
old messages even if it is only processing new ones.
I'm not that picky - I just read backwards from newest until I run
into things I've already seen. The one thing that matters to me is
that when I hit delete, the selection should move to the next message.
Productivity is the key. The main reason I don't like Evolution or
Outlook. To many interruptions.
I prefer threaded messages and I prefer to see the dates as I normally
work by dates. It is one of those preferences. I found a feature in TB
that is great and has solved one of these issues of wanting to scan
messages but not actually read them. There is a setting that marks a
message as read after X seconds. Now I can scan messages to see if it
has the stuff I need to read. If it doesn't, I can either hold onto it
marked as unread or I can delete the thread/message as needed. :)
I guess the reason I don't care about the sort is that I already have
several separate accounts where different things land naturally and
internet list mail never mingles with business mail in the first place.
The only place this is a problem is when I send a new mail list message
and forget to set the 'from' to the subscribed address (this happens by
itself on replies).
