I only have configured a local mailbox (mbox). It appears that if the mailwatch-plugin fails to fetch the local system mail (forwarded from root -> my user account) or has another problem, it generates another mail and thus ends up in a dead loop. This happens quite seldom, maybe once par 2 weeks or so. Today I saw new mail notification (yellow letter) with a tiny warning sign (red triangle with exclamation mark in) when it happened.
In that case I also get full load on 1 or 2 (of my 4) CPU-cores. The desktop finaly becomes unusable/frozen. I now removed the xfce4-mailwatch-plugin an will report the result. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
