It'd appear TB! is trying to read the old files which may not be there any more. So when it tries to fetch, it cannot drop the mail into folders it cannot see/write to. Which might be what is causing the hang. > I OK them all, but on fetch TB hangs the connect after > fetching a message, or sometimes a few messages, and > that's that until I reboot.

I know this is not related, but we had a hell of a time trying to get Wingate to run right on Win2k, with VPN setup ;) I cannot see wingate, or Win2k being the cause of the problem... I'd probably put it down to bad paths. > So far I haven't had any problems sending mail, even when > the fetch is hung. I wouldn't have thought sending would be an issue... it probably only attempts to store the sent message once, and if it cannot write it, it doesn't care. > Also, and this may or may not be related to the previous > issues, I can't get it to compress and/or compress and > purge the trash folder.

You may want to check the paths set in your program (and/or registry), and if they are incorrect, change them to the correct location. As for the compress/purge not working... probably the same reason for the fetch hanging... (see my top theory). > Anybody got any clues about this? > TIA, > Lynn Hope this gives you some kind of an idea. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60h FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
