Saving email user settings freezes sugar

[wmarple]

Hello, I am using:
Sugar Version: 5.5.0 (Build 6653)
OS: ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala)
PHP Version: 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.4
Apache Version: 2.2.12
MySQL Version: 5.1.37

When I fill out email user settings and click save the web interface freezes and I can't access sugar for a few minutes. Can someone give me some ideas on where to look to resolve this? I'm not a complete noob but I'm not that great with linux. Need some expert direction.

Not much we can suggest from that description, I would set your logging level (in system settings) to 'debug' and run it and then look in the sugarcrm.log file and maybe the apache logs (in var/logs) and maybe the answer will be there.

once it comes back is it done? Does the email work?
