The times you are reporting are much higher than our measurements.
Using my personal mail file (on Notes 8.5, 8.02 results should be similar), over a cable modem takes me on average 6-7 seconds to open my mail, under 4 seconds in the office.
Some things to consider:
Closing the lower left view (Tasks, ToDo, etc. will reduce the time to load that view
Closing the preview pane will eliminate opening the last selected Email
Understanding where the time is spent would be the 1st step to identifying where the slow down occurs.
Adding the following to the Notes.INI will allow you to see the client/server transactions that occur while opening your mail file:
CLIENT_CLOCK=1
DEBUG_CONSOLE=1
The output will appear in the data\IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory in the console.log (which is renames to console_xxxxx on the next restart.
On 1st opening your mail file, you should see on the order of about 20 client/server transactions to the server (i.e. [9243]) OPEN_DB) NOTE: The number 9423 indicates the transaction number, subtracting this from the last transaction indicates how many transactions occurred.
Other info that will appear in the console.log:
READ_OBJECT(REP00255C8B:00569ED6-RRV0000011E,0xFFFFFFFF at 0x0): 139 ms. [30+1948=1978]
Where 139 msec indicates that this transaction took 1/7th of a second.
If OPEN_COLLECTION is taking a long time, this can indicate that your view or folder has had many updates. If the server runs the UDPATE task, recently used views and folders should be kept up to date.
What view do you normally use to view your mail? Inbox or All Documents?
If All Documents, have you made customizations?
Which of the transactions, if any is taking, consistently, more than a second?
On each open of the mail file, do you have more than a couple OPEN_NOTEs?
