Apparently, my paradigm was a bit limited: I interpreted a "LAN connection" as an "internet connection via LAN". TB can only handle one internet connection at the time, so that when it believes a LAN connection has been established, it won't dial out for the other accounts. It appears that is not the setup in question: The hamster is on another computer on the same LAN, and there is no reason to establish an internet connection to check mail from there. Taking the tickmark off won't help you with this, I admit. > So, when there are messages to be sent on any account that does not > use LAN, the connection has to be established first. That's the bug. > TB thinks it can send out the messages on all accounts, when there is > just one (independant) account with LAN network settings and fails, of > course. Yes. The work-around would be to take set "Ignore check for all" in that account, so the dial-up will kick in for the others. Is your bug that TB doesn't dial out when a LAN connection is established, or that you don't see an error in the log for "sent failed"? >>> TB should simply not try to SEND mail for dialup accounts before the >>> appropriate connection is up. Here is a technical question I don't know the answer to: If a LAN connection is established, would TB be able to know whether this extends into the internet? If not, it would and should try to send the messages through the LAN. Of course, there should be an error message when this failed. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
