pop3 fast, but sometimes slow
Hello,
I've been noticing over the past few days that pop3 requests sometimes happen
really fast, and sometimes timeout. I'm always testing James over a local
network. Searching the archives doesn't show anything and I'm wondering if
perhaps I should upgrade from 2.1.3 to the 2.2 branch?
(The client I always use is kmail/kde3.1)
Thanks.

Try evolution, it's a great (free like beer) client.

Good to know that someone else is seeing the problem. I couldn't imagine
giving up kmail! :-) So, I suppose the next step is a quick 'kill -3' on
James the next time it's blocked to see if James is stuck somewhere
suspicious. I'll post if I notice anything.
Cheers.

I use kmail/kde3.1 at home, and I have noticed exactly the same variable
performance. If I use a different mail client to the same servers, then
the performance is consistently quick. I don't know why kmail is inconsistent,
and my colleague who is a KDE developer can't explain it either but it is.
Incidentally the servers I use are at a variety of locations, and probably
a variety of different types of server - but kmail is always the same.
I suggest you try another client just to verify where the performance issues are,
then go back to kmail if there are features you can't live without. Personally
I think kmail has enough features that I can live with the quirks :-)
