Dear Batters, Thank you Tomasz, Peter, Gerard for your responses. After several calls to my ISP's help line, I'm finally up and running once more.
It's good to know that the problem had nothing to do with The Bat but rather with my ISP. When I got the following Bat message : "Some tasks are now active. Do you want to exit when they are finished?" my screen seemed to freeze. The only way I could exit was Ctrl-Alt-Del. This apparently is not the thing to do; when I tried logging on once more, I found the mailbox locked (some sort of protection, if two or more people try to log on to the same address at the same time). And, as the technician said, it remains locked for 20 minutes when it is released automatically. Many thanks, Maurice ___________________________________________________ Using The Bat! v1.62i on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
