Mail.app has started acting funny. When idle, it takes up every little bit of my CPU. Right now it's using 80% doing nothing. I've tried quitting and restarting it, rebuilding the mailboxes. Any ideas?
Leave it running, and enjoy the decent memory management.
I had 29 very long word documents open yesterday, using the "search all open documents" to find info for my dad. The powerbook was down to 1Mb of free memory and I could happily swap around all my open applications.
Expose did have a bit of a fit when it tried to animate all the 29 windows, but it got there.
(Now that you have me watching, Microsoft Word always has some activity! I guess it is auto-saving. It averages over 5% and I don't even have any documents open.)
MIne does. I started a thread last night in the appropriate place about it, though It seems to be ok now. I sent an email and that seemed to solve the problem. I'm not sure why.
Mail will lock up on me if I select a particular Sent Message folder with about 400MB of emails (2672 emails). Jumps up to 165% CPU and hangs. Otherwise all works except selecting that folder.
edit: Drug the problem Mail Box out of Library>Mail can double click and open it but hangs on the same file while indexing. If I go to Import through Mail the .mbox is is greyed out. Anyone know of a mailbox repair program. Goint to try a new copy from my back-up files.
Edit: Back-up mailbox is also screwed up, hangs on email #57, hmmm...
I have mail setup as a login item, after checking my mail I hide it so I know if any new mail has come in as I'm on the computer. It uses 0.00% CPU when not in use. I don't know what your deal is though. Very strange. I imagine that it uses quite a bit more when I'm using it or when it actually checks for new mail (on launch and every 5 min) but when idol, it's just that, idol.
Mine is using 0% of the CPU when idol. Don't know what to tell you. There is another thread about this going right now, check that for more info. http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...threadid=32887 hope this helps a little bit.
Well it uses 0% CPU when I use it, it hangs when I select a certain imported mailbox (hangs at 165% CPU on dual G5). Need to get that mailbox going somehow. Going to try an old version on my Laptop that still has Jag on it (so I can use VPC).

In the activity monitor it reports 8 to 11 threads happening.....but Mail isn't checking email or browsing or whatever....
wonder what's going on......

I tried the experiment: Quit and started Mail-
it never went over 50% and is usually at 0%.

Here's the thread following this at the other forum.
Of course, you could just nuke the prefs to try to figure it out.
