Re: Won't check for new messages (fixed!)
Hello Januk Aggarwal, On Friday, January 28, 2000 at 20:37:45 GMT -0800 (which was 04/02/2000 11:37 GMT +0700 my Local Time) you told to the list: JA they left TB running for more than 36 hours straight, then TB would JA stop checking mail automatically. Will do. I'll get back to you in another 36 hours or so. ^-^; JA Thank you. JA Just out of curiosity, about how much mail do you download in a JA typical 36 hours straight? The reason I ask is, the other person JA who complained about this bug was downloading upwards of 1000 JA messages a day. I'm wondering if perhaps The Bat encounters some JA upward limit on the number of messages downloaded in one session JA then decides to quit. This seems unlikely, but since there are so JA few people who can do this test, it would be nice to get as much JA information as possible about the conditions when the bug occurs. Januk, My PC have been running a week non stop, and no problem so far. For the record, since last Friday my TB! already download 12,971 messages (the top on February 1 = 2445 messages/day), and the largest messages I've try to download in one session is 7599 messages (91 MB size) as I reported couple month ago. I think the person who complaint about it using Win95/98 that have " a lot of *.tmp" problem as Keith and my PC at home. I will upgrade to 1.41 beta/3, so I need to exit from The Bat! :-). -- - Syafril - Name: Syafril Hermansyah | Company : Duta Integrasi Pratama Mailto : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Voice : (62) (21) 385-1600 URL : www.dutaint.co.id | FAX : (62) (21) 351-9241 Using The Bat! 1.41 / Beta1 under Windows NT 5.0 Build 2195 Created : Friday, February 04, 2000, 9:51:27 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Ok, so that just reinforces the importance of keeping up on your computer's housecleaning. :) I will upgrade to 1.41 beta/3, so I need to exit from The Bat! :-). Well, that's great. It appears that either it isn't a bug after all, or they've fixed it. Either way, that's good news for us users. :) -- Thanks for writing Januk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! 1.39 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Either way, that's good news for us users. :) OK, but there still remains another fairly serious problem in this regard, as I reported earlier. If a server is unreachable, The Bat! stays in the same Accessing mode and does not stop until you press Cancel. After you cancel, it won't resume auto-checking again until you restart the program. -- Yours, John De Hoog, Tokyo http://wonmug.com The Bat! 1.41 / Beta1 Windows NT 4 Build 1381 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

I then closed TB, and upon reopen, the speed was up to normal. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Had to reboot my machine though since IE crashed it yesterday... :( It takes a real man to keep it up for three days. I managed to go for close to 36 hours, but when I started messing with NJWin for Japanese support, it made my system tray disappear and I had to reboot to get it back. All the more reason to hope for real Japanese support. (Any Windows NT experts out there who know how to restore the system tray display without rebooting, or better yet, how to prevent it from going away? Running systray.exe doesn't do it.) Probably should have inserted some appropriate emoticons up there somewhere, but what the hey, they don't call me old pokerface for nothing. -- John De Hoog http://dehoog.org -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

TB! behaves funny at times and a restart gets it back in order. I guess it's more a stability issue than anything else. TB!'s instability for me is not based on outright crashes or lockups. It tends to start behaving peculiarly, the most common thing being that the message list will not display for any of the folders. -- CU, Allie ... Using The Bat! v1.39 .*.*.

I often hit it out of habit, when all I want to do is drop it to the tray. I get a couple hundred messages a day, so maybe we can hit the limit after a week or so if there is one. ;) -tom! -- Hopin' this said *something* useful, [EMAIL PROTECTED] out. -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --
