OK, Apple Just Said it's done something to remedy SloMail...field reports?

I just received this message, and have noticed some mail improvement in the last few days. I guess there's no way to know until the workweek kicks up. I am still very disappointed in Apple's response/communications re this problem.
(yes, I may be conflating a .Mac problem with an AppleMail problem that continually requires me to quit or go off line and on mail to receive mail, but not sure...
Dear Steven,
Thank you for contacting Apple.
As a result of recent increases in email traffic, some email service providers have experienced various connection issues when attempting to send email to the .Mac Mail system. This increase in email traffic may have resulted in delayed delivery of email sent to .Mac accounts, or delivery failure notifications returned to the originating sender.
Apple has implemented several measures in the .Mac Mail system to help resolve these issues. To assist in our continuing investigation, please inform us in the event either of the following occurs after May 20, 2006:
- Delivery of email to your .Mac account is delayed
- Email sent to your .Mac account is returned to the originating sender with an error
If email delivery to your .Mac account is delayed, verify the issue occurs when using .Mac Mail on the web, <http://webmail.mac.com>.
If email is not delayed when viewed in .Mac Mail on the web, the delay may be the result of your email client application, such as Mac OS X Mail. For assistance troubleshooting Mac OS X Mail, please visit Apple support on the web, <http://www.apple.com/support/>. If you use a third-party email client, please refer to its support resources.
In the event that any of these issues continues to affect your .Mac account, please reply to this email and provide as many relevant details as possible, including the full headers from any delayed email.
To view an email header using Mac OS X Mail in Mac OS X version 10.3 or 10.4:
1. Select the email you want to view.
2. Choose View > Message > Long Headers
For information on how to view an email header using a third-party email client, please refer to its support resources.
Sincerely,
Artie
The .Mac Support Team

Disappointed how or why?
It appears Apple/the .Mac support team is working on resolving various connection issues.
I've experienced no problems with my .Mac account receiving mail via the Mail.app or anything that requires me to quit the application or go offline so I don't believe your problems with the application are related.
