CFPOP is a little flaky at times. After all, lots of things can go wrong when you are 1) looking up a mail server DNS entry 2) depending on the network connection to the mail server remaining up 3) depending on the mail server itself being up 4) depending on the mail server not to throw errors 5) etc...
You will probably want to use a CFTRY/CFCATCH block around CFPOP to handle error such as the one you are getting. Also, I don't think in most cases CFPOP saves anything to disk, it just retrieves headers and messages from the mail server as a query object. -Cameron -------------------- Cameron Childress elliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.1035.232 f.770.460.0963 -- http://www.neighborware.com America's Leading Community Network Software > -----Original Message----- > From: Owen Leonard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 12:00 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Lock CFPOP? > > > Is it necessary to lock CFPOP?
