Any chance you can follow-up with some comparisons, even if they are rough guesstimates on your part? Some of the other fixes include not downloading attachments every time you click on a message, allowing you to store messages offline 'on demand' (as you click on them), as opposed to forcing you to download an entire folder, controls for people with limited bandwidth and/or storage, etc... There are some things I really don't like about the UI, and none of my extensions I need work, so I don't use it yet for anything other than occasional testing, but I'm really looking forward to the release and some maturity... It combined with dovecot will provide a really most excellent imap experience. :) -- Best regards, Charles
