Hi, To keep your customers of your back, reboot the mail server every morning when you get to work.
I always find that knowing that customers aren't hounding you I can get to the bottom of the problem easier. I am using v7 IMail and I have NO complaints at all about anything IMail related. Works like a charm here. Frankly, I would first look elsewhere on your machine to see if there is anything else running that could be falling over first - backup software perhaps? I am sure you will get heaps of techie advice on where to look at IMail configs for your problem but you will have to first get past all the replies that will ask you for machine specs, processes running, etc etc etc :-) _____________________________________ Glen Harvy Aquarius Communications for all your Internet Needs.
