After having used the buggy TheBat for about 24 hours, I can specify
the problems more detailed.
If I just let TheBat fetch all new mail, which takes about 10 minutes
with the bug (usually around 20 seconds), it stops using all
resources, and goes back to be "normal". Then it is possible to close
TheBat normally, only with a second of abnormal CPU ussage.
It is only some tasks which makes it use the abnormal amount of
resources. Some of those tasks are:
*Fetching mail
*Saving an e-mail using CTRL+S (e.g. the one I'm writing now)
*Applying the "NOT spam"-feature to a mail
*Using the internal backup feature
Some tasks which are normal is
*Moving mails to other folders
*Deleting mails
I found a program which can look closer at the sub processes of a
program, and the following is the results from it. The lines which I
have commented starts with SM>
