Email?

[stewc]

My system (1.25GHz PowerPC G4, 1GB Ram, Running system 10.2) "times out every now and then and the hard drive grinds away and I cant use the mouse or type. It seems to be MAIL rewriting the database.

Is this normal?
if so, what can/should I do to minimize it?
throw away a certain # emails etc??

is it MAIL's fault at all?
or some rogue program I downloaded?

thanx.

I have mail with more than 10.000 mails. It's not slowing down at all. Why not run Activity Monitor to see, what's slowing down your system? You can find this app in the Utility folder in your Applications.
