After receiving an email, when I hit the 'Reply' button in mail it has started taking anywhere between 15-20 seconds for the return email window to pop up. I have never encountered anything like this. Does anybody have any insights as to what could be causing the problem? How about a fix? Thanks.

Which computer is this happening on? Is it the only app to be unresponsive? Is it only replying that this happens? Does it happen all the time, or only sometimes? How much ram do you have? Free hard drive space?

It's happening on the 17" PB. It is the only app that is unresponsive. The Reply, Reply All, and Forward buttons appear to be affected. It happens on 95% of the emails that I receive. There was NO unresponsiveness when I hit Reply to the notification from MacNN Forums. I've been noticing it for a couple of days. I have 1.5 GB of RAM and about 5 GB of free HD space left.

That's very little free space left. My Virtual Memory file alone is 6 GB.

Have you added any large files in the past few days that would've eaten up a lot of disk space?

[peeb]

Yeah - disc space is the first thing I would look at.

Run top/process viewer and see what kind of resources it is consuming

I'm experiencing the same thing, within the last week. I've checked the Activity Monitor but nothing seemed abnormal. Safari and iTunes were running at a higher memory level.
