I only have configured a local mailbox (mbox).

It appears that if the mailwatch-plugin fails to fetch the local system
mail (forwarded from root -> my user account) or has another problem, it
generates another mail and thus ends up in a dead loop. This happens
quite seldom, maybe once par 2 weeks or so. Today I saw new mail
notification (yellow letter) with a tiny warning sign (red triangle with
exclamation mark in) when it happened.

In that case I also get full load on 1 or 2 (of my 4) CPU-cores. The
desktop finaly becomes unusable/frozen.
I now removed the xfce4-mailwatch-plugin an will report the result.
