Okey dokey, I've been using PocoMailPE for quite a while now. Don't remember exactly, but it's been more than a year. Usually, my biggest problem was it crashing for some inexplicable reason every few days. Lately though, it's been irritatingly defective.
My first big problems started when I had PE installed on an iPod shuffle so I could check email while on vacation. I had two mail profiles I checked during this time. One profile worked fine. The second would take half an hour to download messages, and then the entire interface was slow. There was a delay when doing anything. Click a button, wait three seconds, and *then* it would do something. I have since moved PE back onto a hard drive and that profile is working quickly again.
My most recent and by far most irritating problem now is that PocoMail decides to start crashing all the time, for no reason. It could be five minutes or 30 seconds between forcing XP to end the Poco.exe process and starting PE back up again, and then it will just freeze up again. For no reason. It doesn't matter what profile I use or what I click. It just decides to freeze. It *was* worse last week. When it was crashing then, I had actually force an end to processes, log out of Windows, and log back in again, because it was even causing explorer.exe to freeze.
I've compressed mailboxes and reinstalled PE. I even talked nice to it. But this quirky program doesn't work worth a damn anymore. Checking email shouldn't be this stressful.
Thank you,
Brian Salisbury
