Dear all, Recently I've been having problems with certain spam mails which cause The Bat to completely crash during the Connection Centre download. The Bat crashes to Desktop, the mail fails to download and The Bat will only complete a mail check again if I delete the offending email via my web mail interface (luckily I have this option). Since I get a lot of spam each day I can't be sure which spam email is causing this (if I get another will try and isolate it).
Things took a turn for the worse today. The Bat still crashed but this time seemed to download a problem message because now I cannot open my Inbox folder. When I click on my Inbox, The Bat just hangs and the message list is never displayed (have left it trying for over 30 mins). Then if you try and shut The Bat down, it won't, it needs to be killed via Task Manager. I've noticed that while it is trying to list the Inbox contents, CPU usage is 100%. Would seem that a certain message is throwing the whole thing into a spin. My system details: Windows 2000 Pro. Athlon XP2100 with 1GB ram. The Bat 1.62r (same problem with 1.62q, I just upgraded in case) Inbox has 2947 messages in it and .tbb file is 178 MB in size. Norton Antivirus 2002 installed but Autoprotect and Email protect are both turned OFF. Anyone got any thoughts as to what might be wrong and any way I can get access back to all those emails in my Inbox (which I don't want to lose). Cheers Martin ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
