I noticed that too. 
You're spamming the forum. I'm thinking of starting a rally to get thousand posts struck off from your post count. You don't deserve it, you evil spammer!
In other news, I have an amazing collection of stickers for only Rs. 200. Limited period offer. Grab it. Hurry!

Have you ever used IMAP before? It basically synchronises your desktop client with the email server and downloads the headers. It does not download the whole email like POP3 does.
So sometimes, when an email has just arrived and you select it immediately, it takes a little while to synchronise with the server. If you have a slow Internet connection or if you disconnect your Internet connection immediately after downloading emails from an IMAP account, you might not be able to view them until the next time you connect.
If you don't use any other email clients to download email apart from Mail.app on your Mac, I would recommend that you use POP3 instead.
Please correct me if I am wrong, everyone.
As for that cracking issue, I told you that it won't be a problem at all. I was right, you see.

Don't, dude. Never use cross-platform software unless absolutely necessary.
Here's a guide to the preference you should give to applications on Mac OS X (#1 being the best and so on...):
1. Paid, closed source, universal, native Cocoa applications exclusive to Mac OS X;
2. Free, closed source, universal, native Cocoa applications exclusive to Mac OS X;
3. Open source, universal, native Cocoa applications exclusive to Mac OS X;
4. Paid, closed source, Carbon applications exclusive to Mac OS X;
5. Free, closed source, Carbon applications exclusive to Mac OS X;
6. Open source, Carbon applications exclusive to Mac OS X;
7. Open source, cross platform applications; and
99. JAVA applications, free or paid. (Never ever use them.)

I think Aayush has to talk for himself!
I use:-
Firefox -- the best browser
VLC player -- dunno if quicktime is better, but I like VLC.
Azureus -- uTorrent is best but Azureus is better than Transmission.
I almost face no issues with any of the app I mentioned above.

Well I guess in the realm of browsers, media players and torrent clients, there's not much to pay for anyway. It's not like you pay for Safari anyway (which I find to be better than FF, especially with that password fiasco).
Torrent clients: Um...well I can't stand Azureus. Transmission has yet to fail me (except with those ugly new buttons).
Media Player: Quicktime wins hands down for me. VLC has this annoying habit of taking control of the remote. So if VLC is in focus, then I can't say invoke front row or do anything else. Since Perian I've totally moved to Quicktime.
To name two of the prominent paid vs free:
Photoshop/adobe apps - Gimp/?
MS Office/iWork - Open Office
Though I would agree with you guys, sometimes the free ones are a little better than even the paid ones...
