I've been using Mail for a long time and one thing that's always bothered me is its glacial slowness. Once it starts up it gets and displays the last message that was selected in my inbox (this sometimes takes awhile if the message is long or has graphics/pictures), then it goes about "gathering children," and then (finally) retrieves mail from my accounts. Also, if I've had it open a while, it takes forever to quit. I've been testing out Thunderbird and it is far, far quicker. It's blisteringly quick on start up and downloading new messages is almost instantaneous, easily 75% faster than Mail. But Thunderbird has some quirks of its own. So does anyone know if all of these gyrations Mail goes through are absolutely necesary and/or is there any way to get around them or, in general, speed things up?
