Retrieving mail simultaneously from several accounts on a single server

Hi all,

I have several email accounts in Outlook 2003:

a google mail account
8 accounts from our techlogic.ca domain name
around 8 more from our tlnewsreader.com domain.

After using Outlook 2003 since it was released, I just noticed today that it
only starts a single retrieve task per domain name. ie: one for google, one for
techlogic.ca and one for tlnewsreader.com. When a task finishes downloading for
one of the account, say techlogic.ca, it then proceeds to the next account on
that domain. But there's never more than 3 tasks active at any one time.

Is there a way to increase that limit? Initial connection on techlogic.ca is
really, really slow and would benefit greatly from connecting to all 8 accounts
at once, especially since we get a lot of mail each day.

Thanks!
 
I don't think so. I think Outlook will only spawn one thread per server.
