I am having some really bizarre behavior occur on one of my Emailer
clients.
I use Emailer on all my Macs. But I have one user who periodically gets
what I have begun terming "email bombs". Here is, more or less, the
sequence of events:
Emailer begins checking her e-mail account
Emailer displays that it is downloading "x of y" messages
Emailer begins "unpacking messages"
Emailer hits one of those messages and "crashes" out, usually with a
Type 2 error,
but occassionally a Type 1 or a complete seizure of the entire
operating
system.
I have almost always been able to trace the "crash" back to some "virus"
related e-mail: Netsky, MyDoom, etc. Going in with a POP utility, I am
able to delete the "Bomb" e-mail at the server and get her back up and
functioning. But I cannot figure out why this only happens on her copy of
Emailer. I run the same Emailer and I get many of the same virus-infested
e-mails. Yet I suffer no ill effects. Emailer downloads the stuff and I
delete it (usually after it's been filtered to my "spam" folder).
I've upped Emailer's memory allocation, since Type 2 errors usually
indicate that an app doesn't have enough memory for whatever task just
caused it to crash. It hasn't helped, tho.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone have any ideas on what
could be causing it?
TIA,
