I just upgraded from Norton Antivirus 2000 to NAV 2001, which adds a new
mechanism for scanning e-mail. This is to interpose itself between the e-mail
client and the mail server, in effect replacing the Inbox.
It happens that when I established my Z@Gundam.Com account on this machine back
in May, I neglected to disable the "leave a copy of messages on server" mail
delivery option.
As a result, every message posted to the Gundam mailing list since May was
retrieved all at once.
That's over 10,000 messages, folks!
On average, that's 1,800 messages per month or 60 per day.
With the new anti-virus scanning in effect, it took about one second per message
or about three hours to retrieve the entire block of messages.
And here I thought that 75 messages on a single topic in one dowload was bad....
