Slow log on for Email. (Comcast)

[supdawg]

I am using the built in Email client to connect up to my Comcast mail. It takes literally 1-2 minutes to log into Comcast and send/receive.

Does anyone else have this issue?

It just says connecting... 30 secs
Logging On... 45 secs.
Done

Is there a logical reason it takes 1.25 minutes to log into my Comcast and check to see if there is any new mail? Is it a limitation of the hardware?

I guess I am used to my home email using outlook. I click send/receive, and in 2 secs it is done.

Searched, but I didnt see anything like it.

TIA
