Have you manually removed the messages from >that folder and seen if the problem goes away? No haven't manually removed the contents, there aren't any leftovers. I check it each time. It just isn't unpacking after some checks (haven't been able to see a pattern yet). When it does unpack, it unpacks every file in the temp incoming folder. So basically, my workaround is to launch-check email-quit-launch-read-quit w/o checking again. If I do this it unpacks the leftovers after the 2nd launch and doesn't leave any. >>So under 9 it's an actual freeze/crash? Is there a fix?
