Tell you what - try this little experiment. Start up Classic and get an application running. Set up Entourage to error. Create a new email account that doesn't exist and create a schedule so that Entourage will go looking for mail at that account in a few minutes. Return to that Classic application and make sure the application's window is next to the dock so the animation touches the Classic window. Now, wait for the error to occur. Watch what happens. Tell me you can ignore the continuous screen redraws and just continue working! That is what I experience at least twice a day and it is annoying as hell. Do I want to be notified about new mail? Heck yes! But I also have the misfortune of using an email account that is on a very busy server and times out one or two times a day. I don't need to be told of this error but eRage sure wants to tell me about it. eRage - sure is an appropriate name at times. ======================================================================== Say you were standing with one foot in the oven and one foot in an ice bucket. According to the percentage people, you would be perfectly comfortable. ~~ Bobby Bragan david mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
