Good Afternoon, I'm also having trouble with slow e-mails. One message took 8 days to be received while later messages to the same address were received within minutes. Also interesting that others are receiving duplicate e-mails. I receive up to 5 copies of the same message. But I guess duplicate copies are better than none at all.
