  Hi
I subscribe to 10 lists 3 of which are fedora* The highest volume is probaby
fedora-users which I have 5000 mails in its vfolder today. If i was to
go in there and hold down delete for 10 seconds then stop, it would keep
going for another 5 seconds while skipping over about 20 messages cause it
could not keep up. I'm on a 2.8 p4 OC'd to 3.1, have plenty of ram and a 7200
Maxtor. Not a slouch system. But sylpheed? would rip right though those messages
not missing a beat. EVO looks nicer, I wish I could use it. But I'll take speed
over looks for now. Maybe I'm the only one having this problem.
