Yes. My feeling is also that the new version of Pegasus is slower in fetching and sending mails than the previous version. (I use Windows 7 64-bit.)

Update: POP3 definitely worked better in the old version! At the moment it wouldn't fetch new mail although I know that there are 2 new mails.

2. update: I use free Avast antivirus and free Zonealarm firewall.

3. update...: It very much feels like if SMTP has also gotten quite slower.

I have used Pmail for many years. It's a great program.

Several months ago I got a new Dell running Windows 8. I loaded Pmail
4.63. It worked fine, but it checked my server's mail folders extremely
slowly. It's was frustrating.

So I updated to 4.70 since it has some SSL features that are new. I saw no
difference in how slow it was checking the mail folders on my server. I
use a VPS to host my Web sites. My mail folders are all on my VPS. I am
not checking gmail, hotmail, etc.

I reviewed all I could on the forum. I changed my default printer. I made
sure the Load Windows Internet Services  (wsockdll32.dll) is set to
'Always'. I don't know what else to change to speed up Pegasus. I have 27
mail folders to check.

I loaded Mozilla Thunderbird and had it set to check six mail folders on
my server just to see if that program would also respond slowly. It did
not. It checked all the folders in a matter of seconds.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might do to get Pegasus working
up to speed?

Thanks.

Jason
