My reluctance to use aliases is that sometimes when I'm on the road and don't have access to TB, I need to rely on the web based mail frontend provided by my email host. However, the web mail they provide does not allow me to change the FROM field of the email header. Therefore, if I need to send emails via the webmail, I would reveal the true target email account which I would like to hide. Also, in my original description of the problem, I forgot to mention another strange behavior. I mentioned that the accounts that were unsuccessfully checked would "get stuck" and hang the Conn Centre, which I would then need to terminate by pressing the abort button. I find that, from this point on, TB would not perform any subsequent account checking for these unsuccessful accounts, even on an individual basis. For instance, for each of these accounts, I would press F2 and nothing would occur (i.e. I don't see the Conn Center coming up with messages saying that it's connecting and checking, etc). However, for the successful ones, subsequent checking would go on as normal. The only way to rectify this is to close TB and restart it again. I've been browsing thru the archives and have seen a lot of "Hanging on Retrieval" type of problems. I wonder if this is a well-known bug that Ritlabs is working on? -- Best regards, choppystride mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! v1.62q Windows XP Pro v5.1 bld 2600 (Service Pack 1) ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
