He misread. I use IMAP and grab a local copy in case my host goes down or I'm not connected so I can still reference my mails. The mail loads quite in the Inbox but it's after that where things slow down when Evo hits 'filtering new mail'. It's not that bad. I'm just wondering if there would be a more efficient way.
