Has anyone else found Comcast's IMAP servers to be very slow to
respond? For the past several weeks when I try to retrieve mail or
switch to another folder it can take up to three minutes to respond.
Thunderbird shows a "Connecting to imap.comcast.net" message for a very
long time, then it will eventually do so. This happens with various
email clients, on different devices, within my home. I haven't had a
chance to check it outside the house. It doesn't always happen, but
more often than not. It seems to be getting worse. I don't notice any
other Internet activity acting slow.

This is in the Boston area. Just trying to see if it's a general issue
or local to my area or even my connection before I spend a lot of time
trying to troubleshoot or deal with tech support.

No problem here in northern DE. Just logged into twitter and
immediately got email that I had logged in.

Thank you, good data point to have. I just installed Claws Mail to
compare it with Thunderbird to maybe see if it's a Thunderbird thing
rather than a Comcast thing. Except that I sometimes see the same thing
with the mail agents on my Android phone. I don't know what to think.

In the last couple off days I seen now-and-then hangs at the
"Connecting to imap.comcast.net" point. Near Pueblo, Colo.

I just give up and ^C (fetchmail in linux terminal mode) to get past it.
When next I check for mail at Comcast IJFW.

Thankfully Comcast is NOT my main email route.
