I never found a way to "throttle down" a process to ease demand on the CPU.
the 'renice' command can be used to change the priority of a process. e.g. to make a process use only 'idle' cpu time, you need to find its process id (PID) and then: renice -n 19 $PID another command, 'ionice', can be used to set the I/O priority of a process (but this won't help this thunderbird issue as the imapd process is running on the server, not the client) see the man pages for renice and ionice for details. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
