Mail CPU usage
Using Snow Leopard (10.6.8) my Mail program is using 100% of my CPU when getting mail according to Activity Monitor. It is also very slow. I've tried rebuilding mailboxes, checked account settings, and removing (and putting back) the mail plist. Nothing has helped. Is this "normal"? Please advise if you have had any success with this issue.
I'm using a 2009 MacBook with 4 GB Ram.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
