My wife and I are both long-term users of Agent (8). Recently sending
emails from her machine is *very* slow.

I know she keeps a lot of stuff on her machine, and maybe a clear-out
would be in order, is there any way to speed up sending?

TIA

In all the internal steps for sending an email, there are many
different places where a delay *might* be introduced.

The first thing I would suggest doing is to get a *verbose* debug log
of Agent sending an email, to help find where the delay is occurring.

I would not want to blindly try a random fix for any of these. The
chances of blindly getting the right one are low.

How to create a *verbose* debug log

1. With your wife's Agent closed,
* Edit your wife's AGENT.INI file
* In the [Debugging] section of AGENT.INI,
change VerboseLog=0 to VerboseLog=1.

2. *Before* sending an email from Agent on your wife's computer,
open the Task Log window.
Tools >> Task Log
Leave it open while sending the email and reading the Task Log.

3. After the email has been sent, look at the timestamps and log
messages in the Task Log window.
* Commands from Agent to the server are prefixed with ‘<’.
* Responses from the server to Agent are prefixed with ‘>’.
* Agent's own thinking is not prefixed with ‘<’ or ‘>’.
* The difference between one timestamp and the next will
tell you where there are delays and how big the delay is.

4. Unfortunately you cannot copy the text from the Task Log window.
But there is a way to get Agent to write the same information to
a file "agent.log".
Post back if you need to do this.
