Okay - this is the problem. Such behaviour badly interferes with the way TB works and actually stops it working. It's a case of NAV pulling the rug from under TB's feet. > One tip: I have no problem downloading messages with OE or with > Opera, so the problem really seems to be TB! related, and not > message/server/virus related. It is almost certainly virus related. You have to stop NAV quarantining the virus infected email in temp. It's killing TB to have the file it was working on and in the middle of using suddenly locked. > In deference to the old PC (primitive computer: solve by re-set) > tradition, maybe it's simpler if I uninstall and reinstall TB! > altogether? No, that won't help. Uninstall NAV and use a less violent AV solution. That will help. TB has plug-ins available for many of the more popular brands. Disable NAV while you download your mail with TB. That will help. TB will *not* let you get unwittingly infected by simply receiving a virus. Let TB download all of your mail unimpeded by NAV *then* turn NAV back on and you'll be perfectly safe. > What do you guys say? > Also: I went into the dispatcher and there is no mention of > viruses. It won't. It just shows you a list of the messages on your server. You can then use it to manually remove (without downloading) any message that looks like it may contain a virus infection. KLEZ is the main one going round at the moment. A KLEZ infected message will often come from someone you don't really know and is 120kb to 200kb in size. Once you have removed the infected message, it will be like pulling the cork from a bottle and the mail will then download smoothly. I would seriously reconsider the use of NAV though. It's not one for the less technical because of the other problems it causes. Also, the developers take no responsibility for the aftermath of "false positives" - when, through a mistake they have made in the identification database - their software deletes and corrupts perfectly innocent files, damaging other software installed on your computer. This really happened with NAV! They released an update on a Friday night with a bad ID in the database and switched the phones off for the weekend.
