Program update?

Anyone have an idea of when we can expect a general program update for WLM?
It seems like it's taking forever for even a bug-fix update.

We have been told by Microsoft (news:7399B681-1040-4EA1-B484-71CDEF863477@xxxxxx) that they are working toward a new version of Windows Live Mail with calendar functionality for release in late summer/early fall of USA.

I do hope there is a fix coming sooner. Some of these bugs, particularly the
peformance issues, are driving me crazy.

Based on reading everything posted here in the past 15 months,
I'd say your sluggishness issue is peculiar to your setup, since
very few others have reported that symptom. So, it's not likely
to be a bug. Or even if it is, it may be so rare that the developers
probably can't duplicate it.

Its certainly possible, but the question is what isi it? I'm trying to think
of what it is that I'm doing that might be unique.

I have 15 accounts, of which three are imap and 5 are hotmail.

I've used hotmail for my main account for three years, with alog of traffic,
so my sent mail folder on hotmail is huge. Over 30,000 messages.

I have 200+ folders in one of the hotmail accounts and one of the imap
accounts. Another imap accounts has about 80 folders.

I'm particularly suspicous of the sent mail folde with 30K+ messages in it,
and I'm tempted to move it somewhere else, but the whole point of using
hotmail (or imap) was to have those messages available any time I logged in.
Some very big messages (entire documents).

So I'm open to suggestion because this is driving me crazy. Long slow
startup times. The program regularly slipping into a black hole for minutes
at a time. I can't try things TOO arbitrarily, my business lives and dies on
my email.

Jack,
I don't have a solution for your slowness though 30K messages and 200+ sync folders might be factor, but, I am curious why a
business would retain dependency on Hotmail (right to be modified or changed at anytime) even with the ability of anytime access
rather than use of OL with the Outlook Connector(archiving the seldom used content).

This is (was) a startup. Three years ago we needed to minimize expenses, and
hotmail
was a good choice. I worked out of two or three locaitons, and with hotmail,
I was able to get to my folders from any location. Today we have our own
mail server, so the groundrules are different.

As for Outlloik, I don't much care for it. Too many features that we don't
need.

But again, I remind you that Outlook Express doesn't have this sluggishness
problem. There must be something that WLM does that OE doesn't. If I could
understand what that is, I could possibly deal with it.

Jack,
Thanks for the information.
Iirc, WLM syncs a Hotmail account much differently than OE.

OL does have quite a few features that many never user or even aware of.

If I may ask, a few ?'s
- does this occur if you disable signing in for WLM ?
- are there a large quantity of messages in the storage folders ?

memory as to where this is set I'll go check.
Oh yes. Think of it this way, if I have 30,000+ in my sendmail folder, it is
quite likely that more than half were responses. I've moved quite a few
folders from the hotmail accounts to my corporate imap account, so the
number still in hotmail accounts is probably way down, but 5,000+ in hotmail
alone wouldn't surprise me, and at LEAST twice that in non-hotmail folders.

I'd bet that these numbers are conservative.
