Hallo? Is this thing still on? Let's see. I use Betterbird and recently it's started to be slower at logging into my email accounts with imap. Not glacially slow, but not as nippy as it was. I have googled but I'd quite like some plain English advice about what I could try to speed it up a notch.
Yes, "this thing" is still on. :-)
I've not got anything very specific to offer on how to speed up your IMAP login though.
Ah, Betterbird is "Thunderbird improved". My initial guess (I don't use anything like you to read mail) is that the most likely culprit for slowness is large mail folders somewhere. For example is your trash/deleted folder huge?
Bev.
P.S. And while I'm here, I have two Alug accounts. How do I ditch one of them?
Stop using it, remove all trace from your system, then it shouldn't bother you any more should it? If both have the same E-Mail address then change the E-Mail for one of them to something that will send E-Mails into the wide blue yonder so you never see them again.
