When I start MailNews in Mozilla 1.7.8 it starts downloading mail from POP3 but
instead instantly breaks internet connection and waits mail forever (waited for
half an hour last time: no mail - no error message - nothing, just still waiting
connection with POP3 server). At the same time, the program MOZILLA.EXE in task
manager gets 100% CPU (the first in the list with same name, the others gets
normal - about 0% - CPU usage. But when I shut down the 100% one, the next takes
immediately 100% CPU itself): I have to shut down every opened Mozilla
app/window to regain normal CPU usage ratio. During this time, Mozilla is still
responding to commands (menus are functional) but even after I get up connection
again the browser fails loading webpages (and still NO email, ofcourse). I have
to shut down all and every browser/mail window and relaunch before getting
things to work again.
PS. my POP3 accounts are OK and does have mail, I tested it via webmail interface.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open browser.
2.Launch Mail & Newsgroups from quicklaunch bar in the browser status bar.
Actual Results:
internet connection gone line down - Mozilla gets 100% CPU - unable to browse
any site or download any mail after reconnection.
Expected Results:
polling POP3 accolunts, downloading mail.
No crash reported
Tweaking around I came to the solution: were the IMON and EMON features of my
NOD32 antivirus which were conflicting with another program for reading webmail
from mozilla (liberopopsd): I disabled IMON and EMON and now everything works
fine. Sorry for the false report :(
