Outlook 2007 and SmarterMail? Not so much..
Since I installed Office 2007 one of my POP3 accounts has been incredibly slow, so today I performed an experiment to start tracking it down.
I set my email alias to point to two POP3 accounts on the SmarterMail server, then left it untouched for the afternoon. Just now I got my desktop to download one account and the laptop to get the other.
The results:
Faster desktop running Outlook 2007 took..wait for it..210 seconds (3.5 minutes) to download 19 emails.
Over 10 seconds PER EMAIL.
Slower laptop running Outlook 2003 took under 10 seconds, as you'd expect. After connecting etc, basically instant email flowing down the pipe.
At the moment it really seems that Outlook 2007 has issues with SmarterMail POP3.
Any SmarterMail or Outlook experts out there?
Anyone found the same thing (I've read about Vista-related issues, but I'm on XP Pro)?
