words, the mail hangs up somewhere after I watch it come in on the
progress bar. It magically shows up the next time I open the emailer
program with the youve mail "ding". I tried rebuilding the
database...same thing.
While Peter's suggestion may help keep it from coming back, I'm not
sure it will fix the issue now that it is happening.
The problem is caused by a .DS_Store file located in your Emailer Temp
Incoming folder. The fix is fairly simple.
Quit and start Emailer repeatedly until it no longer unpacks any
messages. Then quit Emailer again.
Open your Emailer Files Folder, then find the Temp Incoming folder.
Delete the folder (for good measure you can check to make sure it is
empty, if it is not, repeat the Quit and Start until Emailer unpacks
all the mail).
Once you delete the Temp Incoming folder, close ALL open Finder
windows. Every one of them. This is an important step, don't skip it.
Then you should be good to start Emailer again and the problem will be
gone. It will come back if you do anything in OS X that causes the
Temp Incoming folder to have Finder info stored about it (ie: opening
it, or viewing it in any view style, and probably indexing it in
Spotlight, thus Peter's advice will help keep it from coming back).
It is safe to block that folder from Spotlight indexing as there will
never be anything in that folder that you will ever care about
locating via Spotlight or the Finder's Find ability. That folder is
only to hold temporary email data as it is downloaded from a mail
server and held while Emailer processes it and adds it to the Emailer
database. Thus nothing will ever be stored in there long term and
anything that is in there is useless outside of Emailer.
