I've used mail for over three years here as well, and have never had the 
sluggishness with it like Ray is describing.  What I do, is I usually have a 
second user account set up that I can log into to test to see if it's anything 
specific  in the particular user account that may be causing the sluggishness , 
or whatever the issue is i'm having.  You might want to do the same thing, to 
see if mail is sluggish in your test account.
