Hello Britta,
Thanks for the info, but I can't see that that's it. For one thing, I
am running across a network, not via dial-up. Though I do have TB set
to download mail automatically, I do not have the specific network
settings option that you mentioned enabled.
But I agree - it seems to happen after there's been a connection
glitch (when our mail server hangs or the network drops packets for a
few minutes when TB is trying to check mail), so your assumption it
has something to do with that is a good one - but in my case since I
don't even have a modem in this box (nor is Dial-Up Networking
installed at all) I don't think that that specifically is what's
causing the problem.
Anyone else have any idea?
Thanks,
Jason
