Since I began to keep a log of my closings and openings of TB!, yesterday at 4:30 p.m. yesterday, I have been unable to reproduce the hanging-on-exit behavior. I did 5 consecutive closes and re-launches between 4:30 p.m. and 4:44 p.m., each of them with 30 seconds of Fetching mail, and one within 10 seconds of Sending mail. I then ran TB! until 9:00 p.m., at which time I closed it--it closed in a flash--and shut the computer down. I launched TB! at 6:30 a.m., this morning, Thursday, October 28, and have run it continuously since, until 11:15 a.m. At that point I checked mail and immediately shut TB! down. It closed in a flash. I cannot reproduce the "hang-ups" which occurred to me when I first installed and began to use this beta.

Tony, do you think this behavior could be ISP related? I had a lot of trouble with my ISP on Tuesday. TB! (v. 3.0.2.1) would tell me in the Connection Centre the number of messages, and then hang without displaying the Message Dispatcher. I had to close with Windows Task Manager to get out of the freeze. This went on intermittently for over 2 hours (I was going to comcast.net's web-mail page to clear out the messages during this time), and suddenly the bad behavior stopped and has not recurred since. I reported the behavior on tbudl and got one confirmation of a similar behavior involving the German ISP gmx. TB> My wife uses a 1.8 Athlon so I may try it on there when I get time. Do, but from all the information we've gathered so far, I'm beginning to suspect some effect of ISP's on the Connection Centre. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.0.2.2 Rush on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.2 | '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/
