Hi,

I'm using Outlook Express under Windows XP. In several of these groups, I've
all messages. All together up to 2 GB. My ISP has a high performance
newsserver, allowing me to synchronize this all on full speed (2 Mbyte/sec)

Now I tried Vista with Windows Mail. However, it hangs. Difinition of
hanging: A system that I can't controll NOW! Some operations taking a few
seconds in OE, now take hours in Windows Mail.

How to speed this up? Is there another 3rd party news client, not designed
by bij idiots & fools putting every message in a single file?

a little explanation of what you are trying to do and what the system is doing would help.
norton and mcafee virus programs are known to cause problems with WM.
if you have either, download its respective uninstaller from its web site.
download either avg or avast.
uninstall the virus program and install either avg or avast.

What I'm doing? Just reading news using a brand new invented wheel, that
has to be square to be original. Anny idea how much time is needed to
backup 98000 messages stored in one file of 300Mb, and how much time it
takes to backup the same amount of messages stored in 98000 files? Up to
20 minites!

Quoting Microsoft: it is "by design". Windows Mail was not designed to
support that huge storage.

Windows mail: brain death "by design". ;-(

My wife uses Windows Mail. I use Mozilla's Thunderbird. She complains that
Windows Mail is slow, while I have no problems at all with Thunderbird.
