I'm using MacFreePops with my Intel Macbook (Dual Core) for over a month now. It works nicely, and fetches mail from my two yahoo email accounts to the inbox in mail.app. However, there's something I am noticing something... occasionally, the CPU usage for MacFreePops goes up to 160%-180% (it's hogging both the processor cores). I have found no explanation for this anywhere on the internet. This high CPU usage heats up the processor, and the macbook fan starts to swing. I'm now beginning to get worried about the fan sound... the macbook used to work exceptionally silently before I installed MacFreePops.

Works well... but hogs CPU occasionaly - Torelia
Have downloaded v2.2 for Mac 10.4 Intel but fail to make it work. Would be VERY interested in knowing what settings you have made.Have followed instructions re Server 127.0.0.1 and port 2000 on both Entourage and Thunderbird. Error reply on both of them.
My hmail accounts end by .fr and not .com. I understood that this should not be a problem. Or does one have to download an extra extension for .fr?? Believe I have found a list of extra extensions but for PC.
Would be MORE THAN GRATEFUL for any advice you can give me based on your own experience.
FreePOPs is a great idea, but for the moment it seems to lack precision. Wish I knew Italian in which case I would gladly volunteer
a translation of the manual.....
Thanks in advance.
