I wouldn't blame your mail downloading slowness on the drive - a don't think
your modem is outrunning even the slowest drive, and even if it were,
files saved to disk are first saved in RAM so it would be the flusing
process that would be slower, rather than your email download. If you really
have a slower than before mail download, you'll have to look elsewhere for
the cause.
