I believe that Seamonkey is busy doing something that it thinks is
too important to
give up CPU cycles to the user.
I've seen lots of people reporting similar problems - is there
anything that we can
do to help find a solution? Perhaps some way of us determining what
Seamonkey is
actually doing when it hangs?

Also here, when the Seamonkey IMAP client sees (or is told) that
a new message has arrived and starts downloading it. Typing can
completely freeze for several seconds, if not longer.

See also my thread,
news://news.mozilla.org:119/-vkdnwtcnl3_vqltnz2dnuvz_oydn...@mozilla.org, which
calls out a complete freeze of Mail, without Composition or actively
downloading messages. And the CPU shows no usage.
I think I've sorted this one. My only known issue is with deleting
messages. Killing all SM processes, I've gone into my profile directory
and deleted the Mail\Trash.msf file, then restarted SM. Prior to this,
anytime anything was selected for deletion, that's when SM stops playing
nice. The clue this time was that I could click on any folder/subfolder
in my folder pane with instant results, but clicking on 'Deleted' gave
me a blank message thread pane and a cursor with an hourglass. Soon as
I clicked on something else the hourglass disappeared and everything
worked normally.
First tried to go through SM email account prefs to change the pointer
for Deleted, but there's no GUI option to change that one folder
destination. So I did it the hard way. For now, SM seems to be happy.
We'll see.
