I am using a Cirque Serial SmartCat touchpad, GlidePoint Software version
2.0.0.1. If I move the mouse while mail is being received, it *really* screws up
my mouse functionality. I usually have to resort to MouseKeys and shut
down/reboot as soon
as possible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move mouse while mail is being received.

Actual Results:  
Mouse becomes extremely unreliable, not moving when I try to move it, clicking
when I'm just trying to move it, etc.


Expected Results:  
Mouse should bahave as usual.

I am using a Cirque Serial SmartCat touchpad, GlidePoint Software version 2.0.0.1.

I see this on builds 20050309 and 20050211 with a factory mouse on a Sony VAIO,
with WinME.  I don't think it's your mouse that's the problem.

It seems much worse on a very huge mailbox with lots of attachments (Inbox file
>450MB)

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
