Why is sending emails with attachments slow

Thunderbird Fehlerbehebung

Hi

The context of this question is:

  • I've had an Apple iMac for just over 3 years;
  • and I've been using their 'Mail' application to send/receive emails;
  • but not infrequently, when I send an email with one or more attachments all of the email doesn't get to the recipient;
  • and after working with Apple and getting nowhere;
  • I'm now using Thunderbird instead of Mail.

I like Thunderbird, but I've noticed that if I send an email with an attachment (an example is an email I've just sent with a 2.6MB attachment), it takes a while to both (a) first send and then (b) copy the email to my 'send' folder.

Are there any 'settings' changes I can make to speed things up, or do I just need a bigger machine? (I've noticed that over the 3+ years I've had the iMac, it's got progressively slower and slower.)

Regards

John Bugler
