Mail download very slow !

[tralaban]

Hi,
For some time, I noticed that the download of my emails is slower than
previous versions of these plugins. Is a problem with the server side
of Microsoft services or a regression caused by the new version of
hotmail site ?

I'm on Ubuntu and I use webmail and webmail hotmail add on.

I have just this error on consol mod :
Warning: Unknown property 'word-wrap'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: mailbox:///home/tralaban/.mozilla-thunderbird/2r8dv9f1.default/Mail/localhost/achat?number=12072903
Line: 0

Thanks.

the status of the pop server shows that it is running, the smtp shows error but strangely enough I can send mail...

[Webmail Author]

Is there a message in the error console.

[tralaban]

Please just focus on the slower issue.

The download code hasn't changed in awhile. How many emails do have in
the inbox?

[tralaban]

Oh! approximately 600 !! This is weird because the webmail is faster
to display any mail.

I noticed it getting much slower as well. However once I cleared the
old log file, it went from 3 minutes to 3 seconds. You might try
deleting (or moving) the webmail logs to another location and see if
this helps.

You only need logging enabled for troubleshooting, if you're not trying
to identify a problem with the extension, leave logging disabled.

Well I'm not using webmail logs so I guess this is not the problem !!
I'm pretty sure that webmail is not desinged to download among 600
mail !!

Thanks ! I discover this function and it can be helpful but there is a
lot of logs files, and no time to search the problem !!
There is my password in !! So I don't want to put it here.

You can edit out passwords and other sensitive information before
sending the log directly to Webmail Author. The Webmail Author is almost
certainly honest and would not misuse information contained in logs
anyway, but I'm sure he would be the first to agree that this is good
practice. I certainly wouldn't post unedited logs to an open forum like
this.
Before posting a log for analysis, I think it would be as well to
delete, rename or move any old logs. Then just make one attempt to
download mail, or whatever action causes the problem and send the log
created by this one attempt. This should create the smallest log file
possible, with a minimum of unnecessary extra information contained therein.

You may well be right about the number of mails, reading the mails from
the web page and converting to POP format that Thunderbird can
understand is quite processor intensive and can take some time. My Yahoo
account has no new mails, and Thunderbird logs in and reports, "No new
mails" within 2~3 seconds.

Ok I will do that.

Vous voulez savoir ce que vous pouvez faire avec le nouveau Windows Live ? Lancez-vous !

That is probably true. You can log into the Yahoo mail website and send
say batches of say 50 or 100 (or less) to a different folder. Then
download that folder. You can configure this in the yahoo extension
options. This way you can just get a few at a time instead of trying to
get the whole lot and having it fail mid way though.
