I haven't posted this djackmac, but the Ask a Tech - team has, after they found themselves unable to solve the problem. I myself have posted this on two different places. First the Hardware and Peripherals forum and then when it seemed to be a software related problem I posted it on the Mac OS X...

Problem solved. Someone named Steko on the Apple Discussions Forum gave me the advice to open iSync, open Preferences and click on Reset Sync History. To my relieve this completely did the trick. After that Mail uses around 30% of CPU when downloading new messages and 0,0% when sitting idle...

Thanks for your reply midijeep. I downloaded the standalone 10.5.8 update and reinstalled it. To no effect I'm sorry to say. In the meantime someone named Steko on the Apple Discussions Forum gave me the advice to open iSync, open Preferences and click on Reset Sync History. To my relieve this...

Hi, Since a week or so my MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X 10.5.8 shows strange temperature behavior. As soon as I open Mail, the temperature of my MacBook Pro rises (with as much as 25 to 30 degrees celsius) up to 85° and more, and the fan activates. When I close down Mail the temperature...

Hi, I've posted this problem in other places with no results. So forgive me for trying here too. Since more than week my MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X 10.5.8 shows strange temperature behavior. As soon as I open Mail, the temperature of my MacBook Pro rises (with as much as 25 to 30...

I moved (did not delete) the Mail preference file (~/Library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist) to another location (desktop) and restarted Mail. All the mails in my inbox were gone. The mails in my smart folders and local folders are still present. But, what's more important, the problems still...

Thanks Diablo, I'll give it a try tomorrow and keep you informed. In this part world it's way after midnight and I think it's better to go to bed now. Tomorrow is another long day. Cheers

I have rebuilt every single folder that I could rebuild. Some acted strange, some of the read messages that were in the folder returned marked unread after the rebuild, in other folders deleted messages reappeared after the rebuild or messages still in the folder were downloaded a second time...

The complete Mail data in Activity Monitor are (here on my mac in Dutch, so forgive me the inadequate translations) Mail 99,8 % CPU 12 Thr. 427,14 MB real memory 1,35 GB virtual memory Intel

@ ora; even now, when I'm idling in Mail, it takes up 99,7% of CPU.

Thanks for the CPU-explanation Diablo. I checked my mail account settings and all seems to be ok. Rebuild Mailbox in the Mailbox menu is greyed out. So that way I can't rebuild it. Is there another way?

Thanks for the replies. @ ora; my laptop is on the same hard surface as it has (mostly) been since the last 3 years and nothing is blocking the airvents. The temperature rise only happens since a week or so and when running Mail. FOr example now Safari and Aperture are running and the temp. is...

My MacBook Pro when sitting idle is around 50 - 55° C. As soon as I open Mail temperature rises to 80 - 85° C. Of course by then the fans have kicked in but as long as Mail is open, temp. stays around 80 - 85°. When I close down Mail temp. drops to 55 - 60° C in a few seconds. I just installed...
