[X Newbies] Mail Slowdown

[Birgit Rhoads]

My mail did not work at all yesterday....it bounced back emails and I could
not send out.  But it was the fault of my Adelphia Powerstink Cable Co.

In David's case I wonder if storing 3500 digests may be the problem.  Can't
you download them to your disk and free up some space?
