ah gotcha, your fine, everyone else must be talking out of their arse? I am talking about configuring pop3. there is hardly a lot that can go wrong as far as a user not configuring properly.... To be honest its not worth arguing but if 5 users (me being one) all have the same unresponsive email client, and are not happy this is good enough in my opinion to suggest this problem is wide spread (apart from quite a few posts on this forum about the slow email client problem). To be fair you have ignored the entire context of my post to argue that everyone is not complaining, therefore it must be fine. Am i a troll ? feel free to ban me if I am lol MB
