I also still have this issue. I have had it on every version of Ubuntu with every laptop I've had since 2006 at least. Currently I am using intrepid. If I have no internet connection mail notification will start using 100% of one of my dual core CPUs. This does not happen instantly at boot, however, but usually after a few minutes.
I am using fastmail.fm as mail host (IMAP). -- mail-notifcation hogging the CPU polling for GMail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
