I'm getting the same thing occasionally, both on my G5 and on my PowerBook Ti. It seems to happen when retrieving a spam file, probably a Windoze virus. And, yes, it freezes PowerMail. I usually have to restart PowerMail. One time, even after multiple restarts, it continued to freeze PowerMail. I stopped it by accessing webmail on the account that I guessed had the bad file, and deleted it there.
Yes, it's annoying. I'd like to hear CTM's comments. Howard
