Windows Mail - Slow Downloads?

Posted: 11-13-2006, 01:40 PM
Hi,
Windows Mail seems to be downloading and uploading all my mail at a snails
pace. Normally it would take seconds for a small text only mail and now even
that takes a minute. Internet is working fine, all regular Explorer and
updates working at lighting speed, it's just my mail. (all my
settings/permissions are correct)

Any suggestions?

Make sure email scanning of any antivirus software is turned off.

This was happening to me and I noticed it was checking mail I set to leave
on the server, as those file accumulated Win Mail got slower. I went to the
web mail and deleted them off the server and it corrected it. I periodically
go and delete them or it happens again. You may want to check your server
(web mail) for "Bulk" or "Spam" messages and delete them.

I'll try these things...it may be virus scanning as it does do a check.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks Steve...this was the problem, as the mail was being recived and sent,
it was constantly checking causing a HUGE slow-down.

Thanks again,

Ciao
