I can confirm that, and I believe it is the correct behaviour (maybe not the desirable one though) since the IMAP account is connected to the server. The connection's just not doing anything. I have tried a number of different combinations of settings for IMAP and some will make the box disappear after a period of time. An unfortunate side effect of those combinations, however, is that the connection doesn't always reestablish or is much slower to establish when you click on a folder in the account again. (At least that's my perception. I haven't spent time testing it.)

As I wrote before, for now that one IMAP > account is just sitting there, not really being used. I mainly used the Connection Centre as a way to tell that I had a problem. If it stayed open (when I was using POP accounts) that was a sure-fire way to tell that I had a problem. I've got 12 accounts and with the current system, I have to check the log for each one if I'm having a problem. My first preference would be an implementation of some type of error notification. Then I'd only need to call the Connection Centre via the shortcut keys if I was having a problem and needed to look into it further. -- Regards, Terry Using The Bat! v2.12 Beta/7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is v2.12 RC/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
