I started this thread, and at no point did state I had a problem with
Gmail.
I just had a problem.

What I am concerned about is that The Bat! had a problem and did not inform
me that it had a problem.

Yes it is rare, it is that rare that you don't always look for it. If I was
informed that it could not download a message then I could do something
about it. No information no action.

One of my jobs has been as system admin as such I always wanted to be
informed if there was a problem. If I could not guarantee that a system
would inform me of an error the I would set it up to inform me of a
success.

I always assume that no error message means that everything is OK. If
something goes wrong I want to know. As I stated earlier, I don't care
who's
fault it is I just want to know.

Some account don't have such a thing.

Not many. That means that on the rare occasion that there is a problem I
want to know.

NO. I did not state it was gmail. I just said I had a problem.

> I am not against an error message for non-downloadable messages.

Good.

> I am totally against a large _red_ panic message as you suggest.

Just let The Bat! tell me some how.
