A few minor issues. 1: Dialup connections will dial, but CE will fail to collect the email on the account that initiated the dialup on the first pass. This isn't a CE thing, this is a Classic thing. Workaround: Dialup before checking your email (either manually, or via an applescript or whatever), or check your email twice in a row and ignore the first error. If you don't use dialup, this issue makes no difference. 2: The Temp Incoming folder (where CE stores email as it downloads it before it loads it into your mail database) can develop an invisible ".DS_Store" file. This is a file that OS X uses to know things about the folder (view options, stuff like that). Unfortuantly, this file will prevent Emailer from properly unpacking new emails. The symptom is you will see CE download email, but it won't unpack them into your inbox until after another successfull download of email (or after you quit and restart emailer). Its harmless, just annoying because emails won't unpack on the first pass. Fix: Make sure the Temp Incoming folder is empty. (Easiest way, quit emailer, then relaunch emailer, and unprocessed files will them be unpacked). Quit emailer, drag the Temp Incoming folder to the trash (its in your Emailer Files folder in your main emailer application folder). Close the Emailer Files folder window if it is open (so you can't see where the Temp Incoming folder belongs), relaunch Emailer. It will create a new Temp Incoming folder that is clean of the .DS_Store file. Provided you don't open the Temp Incoming folder or drag the CE folder to another OS X drive, it shouldn't recreate that file. If it does, just repeat the fix to get rid of it again. 3: There's no issue 3... there's no issue 3! (actually, there might be, I just can't think of a 3rd off the top of my head, so I thought it would be funny to quote Jeff Goldblum's iMac commercial... humm why do I have the feeling there is an AOL dialup issue I am forgetting.) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
