Fast temperature rise of when using Mail

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 falls back to normal (+/- 55° C) and the fan shuts down. This happens within seconds.

I have SMS Fan Control running on the MacBook Pro, so I can read the actual temperature.

This is a new behavior. I have owned and used the MacBook Pro for almost 3 years now and I used to run Mail in the background permanently without any problem until last week. As long as Mail is open, the fans are working which is very annoying.

Do you have an idea what causes this behavior and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot,
Ivan

This issue seems to be popping up all over these forums lately. Try running the 10.6.2 update and hopefully that will fix it. A forum search and a little searching would have saved you the effort of posting.

EDIT: Noticed you are running 10.5.8, missed that, sorry..

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 System and Mac Software forum.

Sorry for the inconvenience you had to run into the same post once or twice.

Btw, if you're interested, the problem is solved thanks to a guy named Steko on the Apple Discussions Forum. Open iSync, open Preferences, hit Reset Sync History. Problem solved.
