This was not "slightly slower". It was so slow I could hardly use it. I went to imp's options and changed my viewport from 200 messages to 20 and now dimp works. With 200 and a large inbox dimp does not work very well at all. I am not sure if the total number of messages makes a difference as everything seemed slow with the display set to 200 messages per page. > > > I also find if I delete a message it just puts a line through it whereas >> this works perfectly in imp. >> > > This sounds like the bug that was discovered immediately after 1.0 was > released and has already been fixed for 1.0.1. > > michael > Cool. I will watch for 1.0.1.
