Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

My httpmail worked fine until this morning, now it hangs the entire mail program upon launch. I have to force quit.
After uninstalling, as per the readme, Mail launches fine, so the problem is definitely with httpmail.

>> Don't be so SURE - Andreas..


The two statements: "worked fine until this morning" and "the problem is definitely with httpmail" don't go together. Just because things were OK after uninstalling the plugin proves nothing - there are other factors which may be involved. Why don't you try re-installing paying a lot of attention to Daniel's instructions. Also, if you were right you would see many posts like yours; where are they??

Uh, I installed it exactly as the instructions said the first time. It's not difficult; you just use the installer app.
And as you'll see from other posts, it IS a problem with the plugin. Apparently, it hangs the whole mail app when it can't connect to the server to check for updates.
The author should add a time-out function if it can't connect within 5 seconds or something.

I have had the same problem. Every time I install httpmail 1.47a and reopen iMail it hangs and I have to force quit it. It cannot then be reopened until I delete the httpmail plugin from the library/mail/bundles folder.
Any suggestions?

Same here. Today the hotmail account just disappeared. When I went to restart mail.app it wouldn't quit, so I had to force quit. Haven't got it working again. http://www.automagic-software.com/ this site isn't up anymore either. I keep trying to trouble shoot...

please let us know if anyone has a similar problem, and they get it sorted.
thanks.
