Check your mail actions, something is using an Applescript that is either broken or in some other way having a hard time doing its job. Applescripts fired from inside Emailer will take over the computer until they are done with their task. That means, if you have a mail action that runs an applescript, each mail that is unpacked (not each unpack session, but each individual email being unpacked) will cause the applescript to be run, which will cause the mac to fail to respond to anything until that applescript is complete. If the applescript is broken or in some other way is having a hard time running, it could be timing out. Default timeout for Applescript I believe is 60 seconds, so each email that is unpacked may take over the mac for up to 60 seconds PER EMAIL. This assumes the applescript is timing out and that a longer timeout value was not assigned in the script. >I also noticed that "shred enclosures" mail action is taking a very long >time to accomplish its job. That would be a good place to start. Disable it, and see if the unpack problem goes away. If it does, find out why it is taking so long to run. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
