I do agree Len, I have used IMail for almost 3 years now and this is the first HUGE
problem I have had with IMail itself. It has been a realiable product for us.
However, as in all software there are things that can hurt you. It is up to the
Software Vendor to take care of these when they are found.
I would love to see the logging feature some are discribing. If it would timeout
after some known time and log the message with the problem, that would at least help
us to fix the problem on our end. Right now we are stuck when it occurs.
