Have you tried it with ChoiceMail shut down, i.e. connecting directly using TB? What is TB log telling you when you try? What is the behavior? Does it just hang? Time out? Ctrl+Shift+A will get you to the log. I am unfamiliar with ChoiceMail, but I just had this problem when I moved some things around and changed some software. I had been using a different SMTP server for a couple of accounts and had the "Use Specific Settings" box checked. > My System is Win 98SE on an Athon processor.

I'd guess it had nothing to do with either, but better to ask the question now. :) Is it just me or is it weird that a spam program is handling SMTP? AFAIK, Popfile, Spampal, etc., handles only POP. Spam is incoming, not outgoing, or have those crafty spammers figured out something new? Since spam is only incoming, that would alleviate the necessity of using ChoiceMail with SMTP and connecting directly with the server if that's what the problem is. -- Terry Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
