Freemail is an idea I like a lot but at least my windows experience has been... lacking. The alpha 20 has been there for ages... is it still under development? Is someone using it on stable?
I tried to use it on stable, but it doesn't work that good. 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.
