Description Behdad Esfahbod 2006-08-26 14:23:29 UTC 
With certain HTML mail, but not only spam, Evo stops updating the mail view and keeps viewing the same message no matter where you move away...

I have two options at that point: 1) double-click on each message to read them in a separate window, 2) restart Evo.

I also see a milder version of the problem when on certain other HTML mail, it takes a few seconds before Evo updates to show any other message.  I call it the "pray period" as I'm typically praying that it gives up after a few secs and I don't have to restart the thing.

IMAP? POP?
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-08-26 16:02:49 UTC 
POP.  Mail On This Computer.  Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the network.
Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-10-03 15:48:47 UTC 
Ok, seems like stalling in DNS name resolution when working online but internet connection is shaky or non-existant.
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2006-10-03 17:35:13 UTC 
Behdad, do you have "Load images in mail from contacts" selected in Preferences->Mail Preferences->HTML Mail?
Do you happen to have an LDAP address book?

I do.  But I experience this bug in mails from non-contacts mostly.  Mainly spam in fact.  Just turned that option off.  I'll see if it still happens.

> Do you happen to have an LDAP address book?

I do, yes.  And that causes hangs when typing addresses in compose if I don't have VPN setup.
Comment 6 Bastien Nocera 2006-10-23 13:47:45 UTC 
It's probably trying to check whether you have that particular sender in your address-book (including LDAP) and just hanging there...

See bug #361145 comment #50 for some information. I'm marking this as a duplicate of the newer bug because the newer was used for other duplicates and contains more information.
