It's noticeably slow at home sometimes too, but not so bad. For example, after I compose a message and send it with C-c C-c I'll see the message in the mini-buffer indicating that the message has been copied to my sent folder, but the actual message remains on the screen for 10 seconds or more, and during this time I cannot interact with Emacs. This same behaviour occurs when I send a message using the regular emacs M-x mail command, so I don't think it's VM specific. Is there something I can tweak in my configuration to correct this? Any other tips? I don't notice this problem in Gnus, but opening Gnus itself takes a very long time when I'm using the University network as well. I thought the size of my sent mail file might be the problem, but cutting it down from 2.9M to 210K didn't help at all.
