Mine also does this. I am not sure for what it is waiting/polling/testing but after that minute or so, the thing plays 100% What MTA are you using? I am using Exim4 with the "heavy" daemon. Fetchmail retrieves pop mail from provider and the Exim "smarthosts" sending mail through the provider's host. Procmail is being used to spam and virus check. In the end, KDE's KMail gets the mail from user mail folders and sends messages written to localhost where Exim does the rest. You might get along with something much simpler and quicker. Kmail can do ALL of this (but beware of its spam and virus checking which bog down the main program thread rather than run in the background). Other mailers can do it all as well if you do not like Kmail. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
