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.
I would add to that to , if you don't run spam detection evolution is
fast.
However, I have this philosophy. Normally when I run evolution I also
have some mail to send. While the mail is downloading I compose my new
messages. By the time I am finished the old mail is usually downloaded.
I like evolution and I like that it has built in junk filtering so
waiting a few minutes is not a big deal. I run evolution when I first
log on and you can perform other tasks while new mail is loading. From
them on new mail is brought down every 5 minutes with out my noticing
any lag time.

Thunderbird junk filters are so much faster than Evolutions and seem to
work better IMHO. Again, I believe that this is an issue with Outlook
Web Access which is the only way to get mail.
I have tried all the settings in Evolution to get it to check my mail
every 30 minutes. No luck. I think those features only work with imap
or pop access.
I wish I could compose my mail while Evolution is downloading mail but
it is so hard to know what I am responding to when I have not read the
mail yet. :)
I guess I was spoiled by Thunderbird and I find that Thunderbird 2.0 is
so much faster than the older versions.
I will do what I can to stick with TB as it works for me.
