As far as I know, there's no standard/supported way to do this. When I enter my password to check my email, if the login fails for any reason (eg. I entered the wrong password, or my fancy new status field has value 100), all I see is another message prompting me for the password. >From memory when this was brought up in the past, I think there was one popular mail client (Outlook or OE?) that has a proprietary mechanism to convey an error message to the user, but it was just that, proprietary, and didn't work anywhere else. -- Jesse Norell Kentec Communications, Inc. je...@kci.net _______________________________________________ Dbmail-dev mailing list Dbmail-dev@dbmail.org http://mailman.fastxs.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbmail-dev
