[REBOL] Re: Multi-threading?

Hi Matt,

<<< If a rebol script checked my inbox for messages and replied to those
that were on my "friends" list it would read and reply one at a time. Is
it possible to concurrently check multiple emails? >>>
You're right in that for my personal mail, I shouldn't have an issue.
However, what if such a solution were to be used for corporation or even
as a service to the mass market were potentially hundreds of emails are
being sent per minute?

I'm not a POP/networking kinda' guy, but even in that scenario would you see
a big gain (given that the machine has only a single connection to send
through)? Now, I can see where a system distributed over multiple machines
could work well (maybe have separate servers for small, medium, and large
messages - like with big attachments). Anyway, more than one way to skin a
cat and your goals are the driving force.
Good luck!
