I have arranged my settings so that TB! downloads mail on startup; I've also tried to download, only when I do Ctrl-F2, with many shades in-between (I even purchased the Professional Edition), but all with very relative degrees of success. Logically, I guess, if I stopped trying to access my email for a week, I would be free of the problem for a good seven days... -- Regards, Maurice Using The Bat! 3.65.03 on Windows XP Pro 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
