Vista - slow deletes

My emails in Windows Live Mail are very fast to download and view, but VERY
slow to delete. When I hit my delete key on an email, it takes a FULL 5
SECONDS before the email deletes.

This is exasperating. I like most other aspects of the mail client, but this
1 things is driving me nuts. Is there a solution?

Is this a POP, IMAP, or HTTP account?

Make sure your antivirus is not configured to scan emails.

It's a gmail account, and on xp I used Outlook Express, and it was all POP.
But it seems that Windows Live Mail will only use IMAP. So I had to go into
gmail and enable IMAP. (Can WLM be configured to use POP instead of IMAP?)

Why would antivirus make deletes slower? I could understand if mail
downloads or reads were slow because of this, but I don't think antivirus
would try to scan it at delete time. Would it? I think I'm using windows
built in antivirus but that's all.

Version of Windows Live Mail: 2009 (Build 14.0.8064.xxx)

A Gmail account supports both pop3 or imap. That setting is found in the GMail interface for that email address under Options and
must be enabled prior to setting up the account in a local email client.

Settings for setting up a GMail account as a pop3 account are also available in the GMail Help pages.

Windows does not have a built in Antivirus.

Yes, I know all this. But the issue is WLM, not gmail. Gmail is fine, WLM is
very slow to delete.

WLM supports pop3, Http(for Hotmail accounts using DeltaSync) and imap(for any email address that supports Imap). WLM also
supports pop3 for Gmail.


And this..

If you want speed, I suggest you delete that Gmail IMAP account,
and manually set up that Gmail account as POP3. Follow these
instructions:

Those instructions are for Windows Mail but will also work for Windows Live Mail .
