Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / March 2004slow response on mail check
I just upgraded from 5.2.1 to 6.0.2. When checking for new mail, Eudora now takes 20-30 seconds before displaying a dialog box indicating that new mail has arrived or that there is no new mail. With 5.2.1 this box appeared immediately. Not a big deal but a tad annoying. Any thoughts as to why? Sorry if this has been covered previously. > I just upgraded from 5.2.1 to 6.0.2.

However, if I display the task progress window I get a direct response when I look for new mail and I get a report that there is none to be had. I'm using 6.0.2 and os 9.1.

I'm using 6.0.2 and os 9.1. When you do receive mail, some of the delay may be in testing it against the junk filters.  SignatureKathy >>>I just upgraded from 5.2.1 to 6.0.2.

But, surely, this testing against junk filters is performed even if the task progress window is open, is it not? /Bob > > I just upgraded from 5.2.1 to 6.0.2.

Don't recall this in 5.x but my memory isn't the best. Anyway, I don't think the slow response has to do with filtering, because even when no new mail is received, it still takes a while for a response, although it now seems that the time is cut somewhat by having the TP window open. Thanks for everyone's input. Howard > I just upgraded from 5.2.1 to 6.0.2.

If you have virus checking software running, this can cause a significant delay. If I have Norton running, Eudora takes forever to display the dialogue box. I don't check incoming mail for viruses but instead only download 40k of each message - virus suspects are obvious. SignatureLarry Stoter > > I just upgraded from 5.2.1 to 6.0.2.

I don't have virus checking software running in the background (I do as you do with the limited download). But now I see that when the Task Progress Window is front-most, the message dialog appears quickly, as does any new mail; when Task Progress is not front-most, it takes 30 seconds before new mail appears in a mailbox or before a No New Mail message appears. I suppose that make sense but I rarely have the Task Progress Window front-most.

(I think it may be one of the panels that requires you have the Esoteric Settings installed/activated.) One of the settings in the pane is "Wait time before delivering." I'm not sure what the purpose is, but I think it pauses that long before making the mail available.

It was set for 10 seconds (which seems like 30 seconds when your waiting on a computer to do something!). Many thanks, Howard > Ah Ha! Yes, found it.
