[OT] Mail hangs real-time processes

Hi all,

I'd like to put up a warning...

I just experienced, while having iTunes running, Mail.app made iTunes freeze for more than half a minute.

OUCH! -There's something completely wrong with Mail.app. I don't know if it's fixed for Panther, I'm using 10.2.8.
I believe that this has to do with some locking mechanism, to prevent other applications writing in the files that Mail.app has open.
Indeed, this is insane, because then every application should implement that kind of security. I believe it would be right to implement it only while receiving mail over the network.

Anyway, I believe the solution is to keep Mail.app off computers that need to process data in realtime.
-Did anyone else experience this?


Love,
Jens
