IMAP Solution?

[tom <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

I took this group's good advice and signed up for an IMAP service provider.  
Not having any good way to do it I chose something called EvenMail at $49.95 
a year for a service that provides 2GB of storage.  This seemed like a 
reasonable price and was competitive to other services I found.

There were several flaps getting the service started.  It rejected messages 
because it decided I had -0.99 GB of available storage when I had signed up 
for 2 GB.   E-mail messages to EvenMail straightened this out pretty quickly, 
they seemed to do something in about 2 hours - not always the right thing.  
After a couple of passes it seems to be working.

OK, the kicker is that I just timed how long it takes for a message to appear 
in my account.  43 minutes!  They must have scribes there in India passing 
papers on rafts down the Ganges!

Does anyone know what I should expect for response?
