All works fine - if slow - but nothing unusual there(pocomail is the slow one I believe). I donāt get a lot of very large attachments so I may not have noticed this beforeā¦
Three time this week a client has had cause to send me large attached files. 2-5 megabytes. I have had great difficulty retreiving themā¦ because of long time outs once they were downloaded. I am on DSL, no network.
Today I monitored what was going on with Ostat graphical bandwith monitor and FILEMONITOR and FreeRAM.
The mail was checked and collectedā¦ it got to the email in question and I watched Ostat as the attachment (5Mb) all downloaded fine. Then nothing.
I started FILEMONITOR and FreeRAM to monitor activity. The processor went to 100% and Pocomail and Sygate and Avasti were continuously operating.
The total time for all of this processing to finish before Pococomail reported on itās email collection was approx 220% the original total download time of the attachment in questionā¦ judging by the time/grap of Ostat. And this ties in with previous experience this week.
The problem is Pocomail seems always to timeout with the server during this time and doesnāt make all those emails as collectedā¦ so the next time I check the mail I get them all again including the attachment - so I have to go to the server and manually erase them.
Is this a known issue ? Any advice ? suggestions ?
Well Technical, itās not that I am ungratefulā¦ but what have any of these links got to do with my questionā¦? I have just spent the last while reading through every single one of them and they have no relevance whatsoever to any aspect of my questionā¦ why did you post them ?
Sorry, you said Pocomailās Forum did not give you any hope, you asked if this was a known issueā¦ I did a search and tryed to help. Sorry again. I do not use Pomomail but sometimes my messages āremainā in the server when download by Outlook Express. Itās not an āall-dayā disaster but, sometimesā¦ Big attachmentsā¦ But I cannot figure out what happened. Anyway, as you are monitoring your system so closely, luck to find the answer.
The issue here is that it is clearly not a Pocomail issue aloneā¦ It has something to do with Avasti and perhaps also K9 but I cannot be the only person who has experienced this ? People must be getting large attachments and also experiencing this double or treble scanningā¦ I cannot distinguish in my monitoring whether it is Avasti or K9 that is doing it or how to stop itā¦
And K9 doesnāt have a forum.
I have ādoubleā scanning with avast and Spamihilator and everything works fine. I downloaded K9 but I do not install it and, like you said, there is not a forum for it.
I have 'double' scanning with avast and Spamihilator and everything works fine. I downloaded K9 but I do not install it and, like you said, there is not a forum for it. :'(
What do you mean by fine ?
Is a 5 Mb attachment scanned twice or three times ? taking the same time for each scan ?
The only way to narrow this down is to load up pocomail without all the extras and one step at a time add another layer such as Avast and so forth until you get to the bottle neck. You know, I experimented with pocomail with Avast and Spampal and I donāt recall anything remarkable other than it seemed to work okay. Even with a dial up modem you shouldnāt be experiencing these difficulties. At least with a modem you can increase your timeout period but since you are on DSL and it appears you are getting dial up email download times increasing timeout periods would be self defeating.
Have Avast set to āshow detailed info on performed actionā in the Advanced section of the internet email provider so you can see Avast scanning incoming mail. I donāt remember if Avast scans headers and then the body in pocomail. If so you will see two scans from Avast for each incoming message.
