Back from New Hampshire at 12:30PM. Catching up. Mail server is hobbling along. Oy. When I have more than 2000 messages to download, my emailer-server combo can't cope. I have to download them in 10-20 message groups. When the reader fails, I have to download all the messages it downloaded again, so I have huge numbers of duplicates. Whether the problem is in the server, the client, or somewhere between is a mystery to me. I've spent almost three hours at it, and still have over 1700 messages to go. If you have any ideas, comment here -- don't send email.
