I use Claws which is a descendant of Sylpheed; I've had similar problems to you, and it does seem that every IMAP client manages to largely miss the point of IMAP and instead spend half the time trying to index all your subject headers or something. Claws seems to cope better with big mailboxes than most, but it is very clunky in interface. It's in Ubuntu's repositories but I've no idea if there's a Windows distribution of it. -- Avi _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
