I am using MacOS 10.5 and SpamSieve 2.6.4. Since I’ve updated to Leo, Apple Mail stops properly downloading from my five IMAP Accounts as soon as I enable the SpamSieve Rule (which is the first one in the list). Everything is fine as soon as disable it. Apple Mail just seems to hang - the turning wheel is next to one of the accounts and I have to force quit Apple Mail to close it. SpamSieve opens normally without bouncing, I get the Growl Mail information, but then it just seems to stop - when it stops, there is no more activity showing in the activity monitor of Apple Mail.
Anyone having the same issue or an idea how I can get SpamSieve to work again?
I’d like to see what’s happening here. It would be helpful if you could open the Activity Monitor program and select Mail in the list. When you see the spinning wheel, choose Sample Process from the View menu. Then save the resulting data to a file and send it to me.
As for fixing this, it might help to uninstall the GrowlMail bundle.
Re: Leopard, SpamSieve and IMAP
I’m getting the exact same problem. The Activity viewer of Mail shows a status of “Adding Messages” and shows one message being added. The message has already been added, but the Activity viewer message never goes away. Also no new messages after the one that is “stuck” are processed.
I too have disabled SpamSieve with the result that the problem occurs nowhere near as often. With it enabled it occurs with every new message, with it disabled it occurs once every two to three days. So the problem may be with Mail but…
I have emailed the output of Activity Monitor as requested of the previous poster.
When you install SpamSieve it tells Mail to load plug-ins, and Mail loads all of the installed ones. Before you installed SpamSieve, GrowlMail was probably dormant. So I think if you remove the GrowlMail.mailbundle file from:
