Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (1919 mails)

[avi@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Avi Schwartz)]

I am trying to use fetchmail to fetch all my mail from my ISP's POP3
server to my machine.  I managed to set .fetchmailrc so it connects to
the ISP's POP3 server and start downloading the mail.  The problem is
that it is extremely slow.  It can take up to five (!) minutes to
download a 2K message which takes almost no time when I use netscape to
get the same message.

It basically gets stuck on the line that says SMTP> MAIL
FROM:<owner-suse-linux-e@xxxxxxxx> SIZE=2619

It doesn't matter what message it is.

I have attached the output of fetchmail --verbose

Any idea why is it so slow?

Thanks
