Just a couple notes. First, the suggestion I made earlier that you simply not fill in the To: field is faulty since you can't put a message into the Outbox without filling in the To: field. Second, I think I know how this works. I had to wait till I got home to verify, because I pretty much always have something hanging around in the Outbox (for whatever reason). Right now I'm using version 5.0.8, but I think this has worked since the 1.x versions because it's just how I've always configured it. Basically, I do not have automatic send/receive turned on. I retrieve and send everything explicitly, nothing happens automatically. I have messages set to be sent "immediately." Therefore, when I put something into the Outbox using the "Put message into the outbox" button, it never gets sent. Seems a little counterintuitive, but I think the logic is, if you click send, it goes immediately. If you put it in the outbox, it never goes out until you click send. I hope that is a useful data point! -- -Sam ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
