Apple Mail, dial-up and IMAP: Problems
Paul Westbrook spent Thanksgiving using Mail.app on a dialup connection. The slower speed helped him to notice three problems with the way Apple Mail implements IMAP.
Pierre Igot at Betalogue has discovered a design flaw in the way Mail.app handles replies that “illustrates Apple’s lack of concern for people with dial-up Internet connections”:
In that particular situation, when you select a message that contains attachments and hit the “Reply” button or press Command-R to create a reply to that particular message, if your Internet connection happens to be saturated, then Mail takes an abnormally long time to open the window with the new reply. I am talking about 10 seconds or more.
