Well, Ann, You would think that the operation-completed-successfully is a good message to get. In many cases, it might be, but I know of one case where that's one message you don't want to see, because it's very bad news. I suspect that, that is the problem the users are talking about.
Here's how it happened to me and what the system did. Then you'll understand the other users' dismay perhaps. One night I downloaded a bunch of email, about 450 messages. I started to read them. In those days I hadn't explored all of the marking issues and was trashing each message one by one as I either read, responded, or skipped. Now one message had a bunch of attachments, and when I went to trash it, minutes went by. It hadn't gone to the trash. The unit was still making me wait. I was impatient, turned off the unit, turned it back on, and did a reset. That was a dumb move apparently. When I tried to go into my inbox again, I got the operation-completed-message, but the system wouldn't open any of my email folders and let me read, write, or delete. I would just get that message! Not good! When I called the techie, mentioned that pesky message, and not being able to access email, he immediately told me how to fix my corrupted email files. If that's what has happened, yes, it's driving them crazy, enough to stay up to try and resolve the problem and then not see the sunrise while they're sleeping. (grin.).
