Here is a page relating to settings found in the nPOPuk.ini file,
should you wish to edit behaviors there:
http://www.npopuk.org.uk/npopukini.htm
But the items relating to loading mailboxes on launch and contacts are
to be found in the Global Options tabs. For mailbox loading behavior,
go to File | Global Options | Advanced and use the menu there to
select your preference. For speed I choose 'Automatically as needed' -
if 'All at startup' is set in yours now this would explain something
about slow loading time.
For contacts loading you need first decide what behavior works best
for your use. In my experience, loading the Contacts database on my WM
phone is the single biggest difficulty relating to startup delay,
taking well over 10 seconds to scan for and load a few hundred email
addresses from my 800+ contacts. If you wish to change this, loading
nPOPuk without loading freshly scanned contacts, then you will need to
manually edit the nPOPuk.ini file in your text editor of preference.
Search for the line there called LoadPOOMAtStart= and change the value
to LoadPOOMAtStart=0 - this will load the previously created
Address.lst file at startup, rather than creating a brand new one on
every launch. When you need to update your address list, you will need
to open Address book from the File menu within nPOPuk while running
and then select Get Contacts and wait for that to load, then OK.
If you do not have Use Pocket Contacts address book selected under
File | Global Options | Other, then this does not apply, as you will
be using a manually created list of email addresses.
There are other user defined options which may affect memory use and
loading speed. You should examine the commented INI from the support
site to see which of these might apply to your particular use for the
program.

Wasn't like this before. What can be done to improve this.
