I can save you the trouble: it's the video driver ;-) Are you running the third party Nvidia or Radeon driver? If yes, then update it... if no, this must be one of those weird 1% cases where it's not the video driver :-P - Rob . PS If you really think it's mail related, it might be a disk problem: any ide errs in the logs? I like logging *.* to /dev/tty12 - easy to access, never fills up.
