I have a couple of other accounts, but this is the only one I use every day. May I emphasise again that there is no problem whatsoever when running 3.95.

Is the yahoo account where you experience this problem your only account?

Well, it's nice that some people aren't having this problem; but it would also be nice if someone could suggest why I am having it, please.

I am using more than 8 smtp servers and have no problem with any, but I am not using yahoo.

Don't know why, but I can't reproduce it with 3.99.3

And still there in 3.99.3. Evidently RitLabs have no intention of addressing this problem. Deplorable.

This problem is still present in 3.99.1, so I'm staying with 3.95.06.

I've now been able to get hold of a copy of the old 3.95.06 setup file (which I foolishly failed to hang on to after installing 3.98.4), and the problem has immediately disappeared.

Below is the content of an smtp log file for a test message. As you can see, there is a delay of 14 seconds at the start, during which nothing seems to happen. I emphasise again that this didn't happen with v.3.95.

At the account properties you can enable protocol logging. If you do that for smtp, do you get any hints about the nature of the delay?

Thanks for replying. But the problem is still there with 3.98.4 on my system.

I know exactly of what you speak. It cleared up on my machine with the latest betas - I am using 3.98.4 and I think it cleared whith 3.98.1

Closing just the connection center was the work-around and the highlighting individual accounts and "F2" to get new mail

Since updating from v.3.95 to 3.98, I find that it consistently takes about 15 seconds for queued mail to begin being sent after successfully connecting to the SMTP server. With v.3.95, the delay was never more than a couple of seconds. I've made no changes to any program settings. Any idea what's going on here, please? Many thanks.
