FWIW I am on gentoo, using evo 2.6.1. I just took your advice and went hunting for other silly things that might be causing these terrible freeze ups. I only have one account configured (an exchange account). I have no extraordinary Mail Preferences, but I am wondering if perhaps the OWA adaptor could be hangng me up server side. I am going to reduce the frequency of mail checks from every 5 minutes down to like 15 minutes and see if the frequency of freeze ups reduces.</p> It’s doing it right now, so I thought I’d check back here.
