Okay. I /may/ have sorted this out.
I have 7 email accounts, two news servers, and 10 newsgroups in my SM
profile.
After pondering this, I staggered when each checked for new messages.
That is, by example:
email1: every 3 minutes
email2: every 5 minutes
email3: every 7 minutes
...
etc.
Instead of having them all check every three minutes.
This seems to have stopped the horrible problem of SM hannging.
I'm just guesing that having them all gear up and check the server at
the same time was the problem.
Quite possibly: since all accounts are usually checked at mail startup,
if you check them all at a common frequency SeaMonkey will become very
busy at that frequency, with a risk of periodic hangs. Staggering the
server polls makes the mailer less busy more often: in your example, at
3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15*, 18, 20, 21*, 24, 25, 27, 28, 30*…
minutes after startup; it's only every 105 minutes (1 h 45 min; the
least common multiple of 3, 5 and 7) that all three of these servers
will again be polled together.
FYI: In these email accounts there are three different mail servers.
In the news groups there are two servers involved.
Not sure if this is the answer but if it can help the others who seem to
have had the same issue ...
But, I now longer seem to have the issues I have before, e.g. typing for
20 seconds with nothing appearing and having the keyboard buffered etc.
only to appear later.
Good to know your problem was solved — and that you thought of telling
others about it.
Best regards,
Tony.
