From time to time, my ISP's mail servers get real slow at responding to requests. When this is the case, and mailcheck checks for mail, the xfce4-panel process takes up 100% CPU time, and stops responding to input. Only possible action is to kill the panel and start it up again.
Additional information: I assume the while loop in pop3_read_response is the culprit, but haven't DBG'ed.
Thanks for the report. I don't think I will have much time, if any, to work on this, so if someone else would like to have a look, that would be highly appreciated. Probably mail checking, at least remote, should be done in a separate thread.
Reducing severity to enhancement, since the simplicity is really part of the design. Solution for this problem should IMO come from a systray icon.
Settings this to new mailwatch component.
Er, I don't want this... This has nothing to do with mailwatch ^_~. Close it as WONTFIX if you don't want to mess with it....
hehe, sorry Brian, i didn't actually mean to assign this one to you. I'll set this to WONTFIX. Work has been started on a new mailwatch plugin that will solve this issue.
