After a few mails from GMAIL warning of the changes all is now well. It was definitely "ON" before, but for whatever reason it didn't seem to take, unless the smartphone is automagically changing it when it connects. But for now TB! is once again accessing the account for both fetch and send, apologies for the waste of bandwidth! -- Chris Wilson "Using The Bat! v5.8.10 on Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1" -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
