A lot of this echoes my problems the last few days - except I don't have a
demo, I have the real thing. I too had a lot of Apple Scripts in my Rules
before I threw them out - and my problems seem to be somehow connected with
Identites and Rules. Yesterday I changed my Identity and all seemed to be
working. Today I re-did all of my Rules from scratch. As with before if I
now try to download from multiple accounts I will quit (Type 2) on the
second or third mail on *one* of the accounts - always the same one. And it
is this account that has a Rule that contains a slightly long Rule (has 17
from fields). If I try to download that one account separately I also
quit. If I switch Identity to a new Identity with no rules I can download
without problem. Odd behavior??
