I have a client who is using MSN Explorer and Mail on a dial-up from her
house. When she complained to me about mind-numbingly slow operation when
checking mail, the first finger of suspicion I pointed was to her dial-up
status. I took the system home with me, connected it to my stable LAN, and
proceeded to check her mail from the comfortable confines of my broadband
Internet connection.
No better.
This poor woman's PC is being sent to its knees. Minutes on end of
hard-drive grinding, interminable delays just to open an email. The solace
for her is that this is not a product of her dial-up connection and so maybe
it can actually be fixed.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what the cause and solution
might be for these sleep-inducing delays? Many thanks...
