246802 - Mail client fails and browser becomes extremely slow

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Bilari]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608

If a heavy duty java application like JDeveloper is running on the machine with
Mozilla Browser and Mail open, then after working in JDeveloper for about an
hour  or so, if the Mozilla window is clicked to receive focus, it is extremely
slow and there is a lot of activity on the Hard disk. And it is under these
circumstances that Mozilla Mail fails to retrieve any NEW email messages from
the POP3 server. Note that the checking of mail works properly before JDeveloper
was started. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the computer
2. Start Mozilla (browser and email)
3. Click on "Get Msgs" button in mail.
4. Now start JDeveloper
5. Work in it for about an hour or so.
6. Bring the Mail into focus now
7. Click on "Get Msgs" button in mail.

Actual Results:  
At step 3, the mails were fetched properly. But at step7, no emails were
retrieved. At step 6, there was heavy hard disk activity and extreme slowness in
refreshing the Mozilla interface.

Expected Results:  
At step7, it should have fetched new emails. At step6, it should repaint quickly.
