If you're on dialup, I recommend you look at fastmail.fm
I've used many dialup email clients over the years, and fastmail.fm
really is the best and the fastest I've found. They have different
versions that
cost money, but the free one is extremely fast by dial up standards.
The limitation, unlike Gmail, is you only get to have 10 megs of
space for free so I tell all of my contacts to only email there with
real communication. All forwards, photos, jokes, mp3's, video
clips, etc., I request be sent to my gmail account. The reason
for that is that i only access my gmail acct when i have
access to a broadband connection and therefore I don't waste
a lot of time downloading junk on dialup.
But you say you have a broadband connection as well, so you
could have them send the junk there and forget about gmail.
You can access www.fastmail.fm from your broadband
connection, too, and you see for yoursell how speedy it is.
I think fastmail.fm has a switch where you can forward
the incoming mail elsewhere, so you could have stuff
sent there to your boardband address. The dialup
email you have now, probably offers that feature, too.
I hate to say it but I do not see how one email server would be any faster
than another (unless the bandwidth the server has out is more limited than
the bandwidth you have coming in... Which - in Google/GMAIL's case is
undoubtedly not true for the majority of people on the planet - I cannot
imagine how much bandwisth Google dedicates to its services.)
In other words - as long as fastmail.fm and/or gmail.com have outgoing
bandwidth greater than yours - usually many many many times greater to allow
for many users at once - then you are the bottleneck... Not the mail server.
Now the protocol you choose to get your email from the server with and what
you do with it as you get it/after you get it may be an issue.
