Re: [IMail Forum] Time Out Period on Web Mail on Tuesday 4:40:58 PM
IE is an FTP client, or it has a DLL that is. <g> It is easy to
make utilities to initiate FTP protocol, or spawn a server thread.
I was using TCPView from www.sysinternals.com some time ago and I
seem to remember Imail making FTP threads, although this was some
time ago, maybe I am wrong.
I am wondering about the 12 minutes, now. I may retest and see if
it is 12 minutes when this fails.
