FWIW, when you get that "(not responding)" tag in the Task Manager, it means that that specific process isn't processing events the way that Windows is designed to do. I encounter it from time to time on my old Win98SE systems, usually from my browser (Opera 9), but I believe that the actual culprit is the o/s itself, which is attempting to do a disk read and has disabled interruption during what's supposed to be a very short time but which is actually stretching out to several minutes instead of only a few microseconds. The large number of reads required by your huge mail folders can certainly increase the odds of this happening, but it's also possible that your hard disk is preparing for forced retirement in the not too distant future! -- Jim Kyle Using The Bat! v4.0.34 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 on VMWare Server 2 under Xubuntu 8.04.3 with AntiSpamSniper Version 3.0.1.2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.10.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
