Maybe the problem is IMAP/POP3/SMTP, but I feel like email clients in general are just slow. I have time to manually open every separate email account in the browser, and have all of them ready to read, before Thunderbird (or KMail, etc.) finishes loading new emails. And I don't even have a lot of new emails every day, like 5~10, so I'm not quite sure what exactly is taking so long to sync. I can download a 500MB video in the time TB syncs a few KBs of email.
I've largely given up on desktop email clients at this point. It'd be nice to have a single place to manage emails, but the performance is too poor.
do you have imap idle/push enabled on server/client ? i use kmail for past 20 years or so, and it's been just fine.
thunderbird that my wife uses feels much slower in comparison to kmail
