"Sent failed" is the error. It dials out indeed and gets mail for all accounts, but the SEND is emerges too early (when there is a "LAN setting" account in check-all-stack). >>>> 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?

No, it should not send messages through LAN for an account that's dialup. And if it would do so for speed issues it would have to check if the smtp server address is reachable. If not, wait for dialup connection. -- shinE! http://www.thequod.de ICQ#152282665 GnuPG/PGP key: http://thequod.de/danielhahler.asc Using The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 with POPFile 0.20.1 and avast Mar2004 (4.1.357). ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
