What's going on is that Powermail is a resourcehog. While I run OS X on G3/266, you are probably using a faster comp and perhaps with more RAM. I can also write, but the text output will be more erratic when checking mail. So I have to wait for Powermail. It shouldn't be that way. If you read back a few messages you'll see Max Gosell verifying the problem exists in PM 4 as well "But 4.1.2 sometimes interrupts your writing for about a second or so when checking mail." (Thread "Re: Wrong SMTP server for second account problem (Resend)"). This is the only app that display this kind of problem on my box. While I don't doubt this is better in 4.1.x, the very fact it's even there is disturbing. Why would you have to have a G4 and 1 GB RAM just to check mail and write a message without disturbances while you do that? That's just ridicolous. This is OS X. It was built for multitasking. The solution is multithreading, something even Emailer 2 can do under OS 9 or in Classic. True Multithreading can only benefit everybody, so I don't see how anyone can argue against it, though I'm awaiting CTMs excuses.... ;)
