Hello Richard, RO> RW> Are you storing mail on the server? If not try to do so for a day.
RW> I only store it for two days anyway :-( I've had a similar problem in the past. Once in awhile I'll get a message that causes TheBat to not do the right thing when downloading (the symptoms will vary, but what you described has happened before). Usually the problem I have is a task the "Connection Centre" not responding and never finishing. Regardless, I also leave my POP mail on the server for a few days before deleting it from the server. I've found that using the "mail dispatch" function of TheBat I can go in and manually delete the spam and that usually takes care of it. Once in awhile I will need to delete some of the mail I've already downloaded (turning off the "leave mail on server" option and getting mail once will likely have the same effect). I get hundreds of emails a day, and I've never had the time to delete them one at a time to try to isolate the one that causes the problem, I usually delete in batches of 100 or more until the problem goes away. Once the offending email is gone from the server, TheBat starts working normally again. I'm not 100% sure TheBat is the cause of the new-mail problem; it could be that the POP server is telling TheBat the wrong info (ie, all messages are new). Perhaps it is because TheBat never go the chance to tell the POP server to mark the messages as "read." In any event, it seems like purging the messages "fixes" the immediate problem. -- James "A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing." -- Emo Philips "There are 10 types of people in the world.
