GEEK: Thunderbird IMAP slow
23-Apr-07
I’m using Thunderbird (version 2.0.0.0) on a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (1 GB Ram) running Mac OS X 10.4.9. When I connect to my account at fastmail.fm via IMAP, it frequently takes several minutes for each folder to open, and when I send mail, it often takes several minutes to copy the sent mail to the Sent folder (and sometimes it fails altogether.) Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions for what I might do to debug it?
[Edit: This has been going on for a couple of weeks, and happened when I was running the previous release of Thunderbird. If I stop and restart Thunderbird, it goes away for a while. ]
Thanks!
