Hi,

just to tell that the bug still is in effect. I'm experiencing it on the third laptop now. Whenever the Internet connection is unavailable mail-notification quickly eats up to 100% of one CPU. At least on a dual core system that leaves one CPU for serious work.

My personal workaround is
$ sudo killall mail-notification
whenever I'm out in the field.

Thanks a lot,
Dennis
