After you do a "cancelmsg", did you do a "courier flush"? That causes the queue to be flushed immediately. Without it, the queue gets flushed whenever Courier decides to periodically do it on its own, which may be much later. However, even with the "courier flush", I occasionally have seen messages stay in the queue for hours, and even after Courier is stopped and restarted. If that is the behavior that you are experiencing, then you are witnessing what might be a bug. -- Courier User [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
