Here's a wild guess involving a commonly discussed potential cause: memory. Every time you install software (updated system software, Conflict Catcher, etc.) you restart the computer. Every time you change extension sets, you again restart the computer. Every time you restart the computer, you refresh the RAM and essentially though only temporarily resolve memory leak issues. The more you use Emailer, and the bigger the mail database grows, the more RAM you need to have allocated to Emailer. If you are having any system software memory leak problems, and are combining that with a dwindling tolerance for low RAM availability in Emailer, you're likely to have the application freeze or the system crash. Of course, when you restart, the general memory problem is erased and Emailer might be OK for a few sessions, depending upon how lean its memory tolerance may be at the time. To see if this is the problem, allocate more RAM to Emailer via the Get Info window. Of course, please let us know if this solves anything. ---Jay ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
