Jumping in again on this subject: I have also experienced long delays when I click on an unread message in the tree.

There are no problems only solutions.

My guess would be a bottleneck between the web sserver and the database server. Something we all have perhaps experienced before. To many web sessions (or web servers) hitting the same single database server can create this type of behavior.

These delays in response should appear in one of the web logs the web server maintains. Or SQL Server logs, or even a system monitor application can reveal when and where these delays occur.

Oh, well, just a few ideas.
