Hi,
Since several months I Pmail has unpredictable crashes in windows Vista when opening or previewing messages. Sometimes this does't happen for days; on other times it happens several times per hour.
I have monitored disk access by PMail with the help of Sysinternals' Proces Monitor and saw that on the last occasion there was an access violation shortly before PMail crashed ('stopped working' in Vista terms). The file in question is G:\Users\Hans\AppData\Local\Temp\utf8.tmp. It is the only access violation in thousands of disk accesses. This file has a creation date of about the same time PMail crashed.
Details:
375912 11:31:05,0617550 winpm-32.exe 7336 CreateFile G:\Users\Hans\AppData\Local\Temp\utf8.tmp SHARING VIOLATION Desired Access: Read Attributes, Delete, Synchronize, Disposition: Open, Options: Synchronous IO Non-Alert, Open Reparse Point, Attributes: n/a, ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a
Could this be connected to the crashes? How to resolve them? I have been a long time user of PMail, but if this continues I will have to give up on it. (I would hate that). I would appreciate it very much if anyone could bring some light in this situation.
