My email is frustratingly slow, but only sometimes. I do almost all my work on email, so this is a problem.

My server is national capital freenet. I don't know if it's NCF or Thunderbird causing the problem. Early morning is good, then there are slow times during the day. Firefox has recently started putting a red bar across some emails sent to me with multiple recipients telling me they are dangerous. I know these emails are safe -- they've already gone through a good NCF spammer and I've received emails from these people many times before. Could this new warning system be slowing things down? Thanks.

Thank you, I will try it. I'll have to use email over a few hours to find out if this works, since it gets sluggish in the afternoons and evenings, mostly. I'll get back to you once I've tried.
