Hello,
Recently I'm trying the Window Live Mail client. Simple and beautiful.
I have set up an IMAP account, and I'm used that a client only downloads headers.
However Windows Live Mail automatically creates a list of tasks to download all messages from all directories when you are closing the client. Is it possible to avoid this?
It's a good and a bad thing. You can work offline and you have a backup, but it takes extremely long to perform, in fact I have about hundred of thousand of emails. This task can take a whole day to perform.
After looking in the settings I don't see anything special, maybe you have an idea?
Thank you
Mike
