I narrowed down the problem where Mail.app kept freezing while checking all of my IMAP folders. If “Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes” is checked and multiple IMAP folders are being synchronized at the same time, Mail.app seems to freeze for an extended period of time. The only way to recover seems to be to force quit Mail.app, delete cached mailboxes, restart Mail.app and hope for the best. Since unchecking the synchronize box I haven’t had a problem on either my Powerbook G4 or or MDD G4.

Dimensional Spam Generator
Brian McWilliams has written another article spotlighting Robert Todino after his most recent round of alleged spam attacks. Multiple sites were maliciously forged in this set of emails and, according to Brian, this seems to be a retaliatory strike against multiple authors who were reporting on Robert or the time travel spam. I was hit in the crossfire when I received over 450,000 bounce messages due to Robert forging inertramblings.com in the return address of his most recent batch of spams.
