Hello Shane, Hi, I am evaluating TB! and this was the first problem I found.
SRM> This is an old subject, but since I haven't seen anything about it in SRM> awhile, I figured I'd give it another go. I am using TB! 1.61 and W2000 SRM> Sometimes... Out of nowhere ... The Bat just stops picking up mail. SRM> Something INTERNAL hangs. NO visible issues - just a strange absence SRM> of mail. Shut down THE BAT, and you get the message similar to "There SRM> are still operations in progress. Want to exit when they are SRM> finished?" Neither response allows you exit. Killing THE BAT task is SRM> the only way out. I went back and viewed the archive and Ross West had some good ideas that saved me a lot of time. I am using Zone Alarm and found that most of the problems were due to the mail being blocked. I set the mail server name to the trusted zone, no effect. I then entered the server IP instead of the name for TB! and all started to work reliably, I thought. (Although I now can pick up mail on schedule Ross, IIRC, said this wasn't an ideal solution. Any thoughts?) Then I got a similar message to the one above and a hang (but it is very intermittent). I will continue to monitor it. I am also evaluating Eudora and it doesn't have any problems with ZA, but I do prefer The Bat! Just some observations from a brand new user. -- Best regards, David Want ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
