These defaults are preventing you from creating a mail directory in the Program Files folder. I suggest changing the mail directory. Open "Options -> Preferences -> System" and change the mail directory to a location that you can write to (Somewhere within your home directory will work.). The default is "%APPDATA%\The Bat!\". That works for me. -- Chris Using The Bat! v3.99.3 on Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6000. Accessing a POP3 mailbox.
