My first question is why does it alway die horribly on the first download at email number 12 and then work after that (usually) and why is it so bloody slow? 600 messages takes well over 45 minutes to download on a UK broadband connection (512K line) and gnome-system- monitor shows it hogging upto 99% CPU time.
Spamassassin is running.
I have the internal spam trap killed and am only using SA 2.63. Sylpheed sucks down the same number of emails in under 5 mins (not checked using SA though - not sure how to set that up)
If you get Sylpheed to run even on your local SA2.63, it will take that long and eat up your CPU time.
