I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 and it and the previous release don't connect to my ISP very fast. Sometimes I even get a time out error.
Outlook Express doesn't get it and seems to connect faster.
Are their any other Email programs that are worth trying and safe ?
I'm using PC-cillin Internet suite 2007 for virus and firewall if it makes any difference and Windows XP.

I've had the interface with the virus scanner (the email scanner will proxy the connection to scan the email as it comes in) cause that problem before. It may just be a case of large emails. might try a different AV suite... like AVG since it's free... just to make sure that's not the issue first.

I use TB 2.0.0.10 and connect to 5 different accounts in under a second.

I stopped using a POP3 client a while ago, and now use only web-based (gmail).
I don't have to look at SPAM, and all that other nonsense no longer exists.

I just realized they upped the archive size to 5 GB
