The system TEMP folder is more likely to be C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\, which is hidden by default.

That's how I use it IMAP boxes on my side. You can store more, but I do prefer no more 6 months or 10000 emails. Many IMAP-emails support isn't best side of TheBat! (IMHO). For many emails I do prefer "old friend" — POP3.

Thanks but it's quite disappointing if the Bat can stand only 6 months of mails....

Do not store in an inbox all that "giga", send to some archive folder and stay with last 6 months of messages (near to 10000).

Are we talk about IMAP box and not downloaded automatically attachments?
If yes, why not download them? For example I do have always "get entire messages for the new letters (unread). And not mark them as "read messages" automatically.

=============
Hello George. This is probably the main reason. With all my accounts I always select the "get entire message" option. But with this account, it's impossible. If I do that, I cannot read the message because The Bat is always trying to download messages queueing them.... And while it tries to download I cannot read anything... I have tried to leave the Bat downloading for a few days but at the end it hangs or crash... I just tried to allow up to 45 connections but nothing changes... It's a big gmail account with 68 giga of messages... Any idea?

I don't think that the TEMP is on an external drive. How can I locate the TEMP file that the bat is using?
=============

It uses your system's TEMP folder. By default on Windows 10 that is C:\Windows\Temp but you may have changed it or you may be using a different operating system.

I have 2 external drives for back up but don't think it should interfere
=============

The easiest way to tell is to disconnect them and see if the problem still exists. External and network drives that have gone into energy savings mode are a common cause of delays. Even when you are not actively using them, there's a variety of applications and services that may try to check on them in the background (e.g. disk indexing, antivirus, backup, etc), sometimes freezing the whole system until a time-out occurs if the drive is hibernating.

Is your TEMP folder on an external drive or on a network or cloud drive?
Does your system have any external drives (which may be sleeping due to energy conservation policies)
Is your anti-malware software interfering?

Hello I have the last version of the Bat

It happens quite often that the Bat is VERY slow to open attachments (pdff, word, etc). It can last between 30 seconds and 5 minutes!

Even if I restart the bat nothing change. The only solution is to reboot.... Any idea?
