I always use "Get All" and mine checks 10 addresses plus 2 types of
newsgroups (Win32/XP). I do sometimes see the behavior you're
describing, tho more often before than now. Without really knowing,
I've attributed it to 1) trouble making a connection to the email
server (or possibly Mailwasher beta still completing its thing); 2) my
computer doing other things at the moment, thus temporarily tieing up
the processor; and 3) how long the computer session has been going on.
Beyond that, the speed in which my addresses are run through, once the
first one shows up, has really improved since organizing them by
provider.
