This is a new one. This evening when I launch Mail and nothing else, it's using 96% of the CPU (Activity Viewer gets the other 4%.) and the fans in my PowerBook start up and run full speed. Quit Mail and everything cools off. Ever heard of such a thing? A reboot doesn't seem to help. OS 10.3.5.

My copy of Mail started doing the same thing today. All up to date (latest OS and security updates). PowerBook 17" 1GHz.

between 23 and 24 hours because mail.app has a bug with saving daylight settings. This repeats every year if the bug will not be fixed (check by changing date).
