I think an easier solution may be to create a dummy account that gets checked first. I haven't tried the dialup problem myself, but IIRC, Emailer only fails on the account that initiated the connection. So if you create a dummy account (just duplicate an existing account), and have that at the top of your list of accounts to check, then it will initiate the connection, fail, and Emailer moves on to the real accounts and collects them just fine. This of course does have the side effect of giving you an error log, and so your error icon starts blinking, but that is a minor issue in my book (can be annoying, but still minor). Or, write an applescript that tells OS X to dial, then tells Emailer to collect email. Set the applescript to run on the scheduled times (emailer can run an applescript via its Schedules interface). This will avoid the error report issue entirely, AND can have the benifit of having the applescript close the dialup connection as well (AppleScript will wait to continue until Emailer has finished with its connections, so just do any email checking you want, and after all that in the applescript, have it hang up the dialup connection. It won't fire the hangup until AFTER all pervious steps are complete). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
