Hi,

o.k. that is exactly the same problem I have.

But here is a missunderstandig: I'm using a network share from my NAS
mounted with NFS filesystem NOT NTFS.

NTFS is a local filesystem on one of your local HDD's.
Using NTFS you don't have a mount option like soft or async.

Perhaps it depends on some kind of speed. NTFS is userspaced not kernel.

I don't know.

I'm using a normal email client like thunderbird, choose the mail I want
to answer to, and everything is ok.
