Bug description:
 affects viewmail
 importance critical 



Hi,

I'm having some problems using emacs 23 from CVS, and VM 591 from the
bzr repo.

First, when collecting messages from my work's IMAP server, they
invariably end up in my mail.crash file, then I have to `vm-get-new-
mail' again to recover the messages.  Note collecting from a another
pop mailbox works fine.

from my *Messages* buffer:
 Checking for new mail for /home/eschulte/mail/mitre...
 Recovering messages from ~/mail/mitre.crash...
 Added to /home/eschulte/mail/mitre
 Recovering messages from ~/mail/mitre.crash... done

Second, VM continually freezes my emacs, at first I thought this was
because it was collecting mail, so I set `vm-auto-get-new-mail' to
nil, but still VM will burn my CPU and freeze my emacs for 5-20
seconds at a time.

Does anyone have any advice for what may be going wrong, or how I can
generate a more helpful error report?

Thanks -- Eric
