Thanks! I have my GMail (and all outside email) forwarded to Fastmail. The problem is when I want to send from GMail in the Bat! because GMail insists on less secure app status, and cancels the "off" status if I don't send in a while. My ISP email is so inferior that I gave up on it years ago and I don't use it at all. -- Lore Galore ________________________________________________ Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
