Yes, I see these too... usually a single IMAP task has stalled. Once removed manually things get back to normal. KR> Worse yet, I sometimes click on a message and get the wrong body!

It's most likely a damaged message base... or at least clearing the local cache did the trick for me. I now use 'Compress folders when switching to another folder' and haven't had a problem since. I still get occasional problems with the message base but I'm certain that these problems are caused by killing TB! when it freezes, e.g. 3.0.2.2.

No... and I should have left for work by now and will read again later. :-) ...<snip> BTW, can you include IMAP in the subject next time? -- .\\artin | ICQ 15893823 "If a man begins with certainties, he shall end in doubt; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties."
