Almost all of the times it tries to insert a message an gets a RNF it doesn't remember the slot it used to insert. So after some hours the same message got inserted in multiple slots. To make it worse, the message somehow got through and got confirmed by the receiver, but freemail didn't get it right and was still trying to insert the message. After an manual count I saw that the one message I did send was inserted into about 80 receiver slots and there was no way to tell freemail to stop inserting it again and again into new slots. Additionally the freemail process stalled totally after some hours using all available CPU which means I had to run it on a very low priority or it would starve my freenet node to death. All this is with the latest windows version of freemail, don't know if the linux version runs better. My conclusion about it: nice idea but far from beeing usable at the moment. I had forgot about the 100% CPU issue, but it happened to me too. In my case the message wasn't being inserted multiple times, but was being tried to be inserted into an used slot, and the collisions triggered some exception which prevented freemail from any further normal operation. Nonetheless, I managed to exchange several messages between two test identities. I hope the project will eventually continue. ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've seen it work almost fine for some time over unstable, but at some point something gets corrupted in the database and no progress can be made; messages don't get dispatched nor received... at least that's not freenet's fault. It was on a WinXP. Yesterday I tried to run it in linux and didn't managed to insert my identity on stable. Too many time stuck, and the node was running great... maybe I'll try some other day. But seriously, the concept of freemail is great... I'd say a must have application for a working freenet 1.0 ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
