The port may need to be updated to the current version of GNUMail-Aqua; if it already is, its developers may need to be informed about this problem; if they're no longer developing the software we may need to patch it ourselves in a way like the one shown below.

Sorry if you got the wrong impression here, all I was trying to say was that I don't think that I have Jam. I understand what you are saying and I will attempt to file a ticket at this time. (My first time doing a ticket) I shall read the appropriate documents first.

Thanks for your time.
