Hi,

In the log window, at least in Windows OS, the errors are displayed
in red.

The errors that cause the delays are like "socket I/O" error text or
similar (I've seen at least 2 variants of that error).

(mine is in Spanish so forgive me if the text doesn't exactly match)

Tools Menu > Common Settings/Preference > Details Tab > Advanced panel

Try a value of 10 seconds. That would mean that instead minutes
stuck, in the worst cases, would mean just 20 seconds per account.


As a side note, from what you told in the first mail, as much
accounts you add interacting with slow servers, the more delay you
have. Is not about how many accounts you have, but how many slow
servers, or how slow, if just one, for several accounts, you interact
with.

But if you had one, and now two, and both have the same problem,
obviously, it doubles the time for check mails.
