I don't notice the problem you mention. How large are your folders? I see I have 4142 messages in my home inbox. (I archive it each year.) I'm currently keeping my email in Ireland, and accessing it on holiday in Italy, and that works perfectly. I had something like 100 new messages today, and the folder came up almost at once. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
