I think I have found why I started needing to kill The Bat! with the task-manager at version 2.12.00.
I have couple of accounts with no POP3 servers set (They are ones I run for two of my children, email gets filtered to them from my main account, but if I reply from them they go out with a son's name in the from) Prior to this version, if you did a check-mail on one of the accounts, it appeared briefly in the connection centre, but then returned, with no messages found. At 2.12.00 they appear in the connection centre, and never finish. the only way I can interrupt them is to use the task manager to kill the process. To work round it, I went to each of the accounts, disabled the "check mailbox at startup" and "check periodically", and enabled the "exclude from check all accounts" options. The ideal behaviour might be a warning box, but the new behaviour is certainly uphelpful.
