Thanks for the leads folks.
I’m busy with a new hire, but once I
try these ideas, I will report back to the list.
Much appreciated.

That confirms that it is
a synchronization problem. I think those useless calls are really the moral
equivalent of sleep statements.
Probably the cleanest and most reliable solution would be to use this after
your call to IE.attach:
require 'watir/waiter'
WATIR::Waiter.wait_until {
$ie.some_element_i_know_should_be_there.exists? }
Although this library is packaged with Watir 1.5, it is a separate file
(watir/waiter.rb) and can be used with 1.4 if you copy it over manually.

I've even run into
problems before where $ie.wait didn't seem to do the trick. Usually it
was when the pages where doing a redirect or some other craziness that I hadn't
planned on.
My workaround was to go ahead and do the $ie.wait, then I threw in some thing
like this:
xUselessVariable =
$ie.contains_text('it_would_never_contain_this_phrase')
xUselessVariable = $ie.contains_text('it_would_never_contain_this_phrase_either')
and just ignore the return values... and do your actions/assertions after
this.
I've did it twice because once helped, but didn't solve it everytime.
I'm not running into those issues anymore.
I know it's a hack, but it sure worked for me. Hope it helps someone else
out there.
Sounds like a synchronization problem. There was a known synchronization
problem with IE.attach in 1.4.1. That can be avoided if you call wait after
attach. Thus:
$ie=IE.attach(:title,/^Compli:/)
$ie.set_fast_speed()
navigateToInbox($ie)
But depending on what is
in navigateToInbox, i can't tell if that is the problem here.
Can you show the code in navigateToInbox?
And if this change fixes your problem, let us know. I'm wondering if we
shouldn't release this fix as 1.4.2.
