The large message store might be in play, but antivirus is definitely not. Thanks, Benny, I'll send the sample if/when I catch it. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Well, I didn't have much of an idea of those anyways. The menu flashing should only happen if triggering a menu command (and the flashing is done by Apple code).

Follow-up, FWIW...upgrading to Monterey seems to have made the first two issues (menu flashing and context switching) disappear (with no change to the version of MailMate). The narcolepsy problem still exists, though. :( On 17 Feb 2022, at 9:34, Randall Meadows wrote: > On 17 Feb 2022, at 4:43, Jan Erik Moström wrote: > >> On 16 Feb 2022, at 17:30, Randall Meadows wrote: >> >>> But just now the exact same problem happened—MailMate went to the >>> background and my browser came to the front—while I was merely navigating >>> through a list of message using the arrow keys.

I'll pay more attention to the message that is currently selected at the time and see if I can see a pattern.

While I haven't seen this exact behavior I've noticed that sometimes the apple or Mailmate menu seem to flash when I'm navigating the mail (it's so fast that I can't say what menu flashes but it's up in the left corner).

I personally haven't seen this, but there is perhaps some faulty email data that causes Mailmate to wait for timeout??? = jem ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
