Now I'm really getting irritated with NS... looks like 4.79 did something to some of my mail files so that now 4.78 is also crashing a lot... The "fix" each time is to delete the .<box>.summary file which forces NS to recreate it.
I'm becoming convinced (gut feel) that NS does not lock the mail files properly so that incoming mail, deletes and other(?) box activities are not done to completion, then an interrupted task resumes with assumed pointers. Just a guess; but it sure smells like that to me. Pierre Nick Thompson wrote: > > And I though 4.78 was flakey. I'm trying to use mozilla now, but its > sooo sloooow :-( .
