Hello:

When checking e-mail through IMAP a lot of times it hangs for about 20 seconds on:

"checking for new mail in subscribed folders"

Now, I have tried this with different e-mail programs on different computers. About 4/10 times it just hangs for at least 20 seconds before completing.

E-mail is downloaded quickly, but the cycle doesn't complete for at least 20 seconds once all e-mail has been downloaded.

Any ideas?
 
Hello,

From your computer, type:

telnet server.com 143

and see how long it takes to connect. If it takes a long time to get to the imap welcome headers, then it's a networking issue and you'd need to contact your isp.. if it appears right away, then the slowdown is somewhere after that, so you'd probably want to check your /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog for possible details.
