Some more update on this issue. Once the CPU usage shoots up, if I type mail-notification --update in the xterm window, I get the following errors: (mail-notification:12827): gnome-vfs-modules-CRITICAL **: Message length too long: 1701054976
(mail-notification:12827): gnome-vfs-modules-CRITICAL **: Error receiving message: 6 and the mail icon in the panel starts blinking (as per my settings) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
