Until recently I had not checked, since it happened only a few times a week. But now it happens aggrevatingly often. I am convinced that the culprit is VM. In particular, it appears that once your mail-files are sufficiently large (> 100 messages), then the tiniest network timeout sends emacs down the tubes. I am using VM 5.31. Does anybody else experience this problem I experience it. and if so, how are you working around it. I suffer with it. I try to keep my mailboxes small, but that is difficult. Doing things with summary buffers that are re-ordered seems to aggravate it. Unfortunately re-compiling emacs is not an option for me. But I haven't given up VM. Yet.
