I've just bought a Mac, & am having a problem I used to have with Windows but which seemed to have been resolved in Windows 7. Frequently when I click on a message to open it the message becomes 'whited out' & a little flag appears stuck to the cursor, saying 'one item'. Everything freezes & I can't open the message or click anywhere else, & little flag follows the cursor around. The only way to solve it is to constantly refresh the page, which is a bit annoying. Anyone else have this problem?
