Alien Soup Mail is slow!

Alien,
Just wanted to let you know that I'm noticing some serious slowness on the mail server. It's much slower than it was this morning, and I'm on a T1 right now.
Possibly something is hanging...?

Let me get this clear, the site isn't hanging or being slow?

There's just a mail delay?

It seems to be better now.
The problem was only with the Mail site, but not with the actual speed of the email.
Something like clicking on Inbox would bring the inbox up in about a second now took about 40 seconds. Clicking on Logout would usually log me out in about .5 seconds, but took about 2 minutes to this morning.

It was like clicking on the link, the status bar wouldn't move for 20 seconds, then, once it moved, the page loaded immediately.

Just kinda hung, then woke up briefly before hanging again.

The UBB portion of the site did not do this.

It's usually kind of slow here (work on a T1, I believe)...but I guess I don't get much mail there to be able to compare...

Okay, thanks.

I'm in contact with our provider on it.

Let me know if it continues.

Actually yesterday afternoon the site was a bit slow...not for long, but slow it was...
