I was wondering, while reading the above, just how you have your OS  
configured. Are you using exotic third-party software that might be  
creating conflicts, maybe trying to run many programs simultaneously,  
under-supplied with RAM, crowding your hard drive content limit, etc,  
etc?

I run almost a stock install of OS-10.5.3 right now on my PowerPC  
chipped 2GHz dual processor G5 and have no problems with any of the  
programs mentioned. Maybe I am satisfied with Mail because I don't  
want to put any more M$ software on my Macs than is absolutely  
necessary. The same can be said about Safari and iSync and MobileMe as  
far as I am concerned.

As long as I can avoid the M$ monopoly and hassles, I will continue  
doing so.
