4.7 going very slow

The hangs/crashes you have read about are most likely the delays that occur during sends and downloads.  They are typically brief but the amount of data moving during these sessions, the speed of the PC, and the size of the bandwidth pipe will affect the length of the delay.  The delay should only last as long as the send or download processing lasts.  If this sounds like what you are encountering consider extending the time between mail checks so the delays are less frequent.  I POP two mailboxes and the delays are 8 to 10 seconds to retrieve an average of 4 messages on my office PC and 6-8 seconds on my faster home laptop.  I do not queue outgoing messages and check for new messages every 5 minutes.  

As for going back to the previous version, from what I know of the differences between the two versions you could

not install v4.63 over v4.70 to go back.  A clean install of v4.63

would be required.  You would then recover mail data from the old mailboxes.  Keep in mind that many mail hosts are requiring the more secure version of SSL that is in v4.70.  If your mail host doesn't it is probably only a matter of time.

I have just upgraded to 4.7 and it is going very slow. Even though I'm a two finger typist it can't keep up with me. Any help would be appreciated

Check to insure that the "Load Windows Internet Services..." setting is set to Always.  It is located in Tools > Options > General settings > Advanced settings.

Did you make any other changes to the system at the time of the upgrade( eg: adding or removing software or hardware)?

Thanks Brian. It was set on "always" and I have not removed or added any hardware or software. Even when I click on the tools button it takes 3 or 4 seconds to respond.

I asked about hardware changes because what you describe sounds similar to what occurs when Pegasus Mail can not poll the default printer driver or the driver, when polled, polls the printer and finds it offline.  Confirm that the default printer is online and functioning.

Has the machine been rebooted since the upgrade?

Are any other apps exhibiting slowness?

Has this Pegasus Mail installation been through numerous upgrades?

How many Pegasus Mail users and identities?

I have just disconnected an external drive that I had on my machine and it seems to be back up to speed. I will see how it goes for the rest of the day. Thank you very much for your help.

Sorry, not fixed. Still going incredibly slow but not consistent. I can type a whole sentence and then have to wait for 10 or 20 seconds for it to appear. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

On reading various other comments on the forum it maybe that it is hanging/crashing rather than just being slow. I have now downloaded the latest Renderer 2.4.9.9 but this has made no difference. If I can't solve it soon is there anyway I can go back to the previous version?
