Yes, I see these too... usually a single IMAP task has stalled. Once removed manually things get back to normal.
I'm going to have to start checking Control Center on a regular basis and see if deleting tasks makes a difference for me.

I've had this too. It's most likely a damaged message base... or at
least clearing the local cache did the trick for me.
So, as I asked in another message, why does The Bat! have so many problems with damaged message bases and/or corrupt cache, when I never see these problems with other clients?
I now use 'Compress folders when switching to another folder' and haven't had a problem since.
Thanks for this suggestion. I'll give this a try.

Really? NC :-)
NC???

No... and I should have left for work by now and will read again later. :-)
Okay. :-) Thanks for taking the time to post what you did.
BTW, can you include IMAP in the subject next time?
Yes, I apologize for not doing that. I wanted to provide a descriptive subject, but it was getting very long, so I decided to shorten it at the expense of the word "IMAP". Probably a bad choice on my part.
