I dunno- I don't run any macro programs at the moment (I am tempted to
dabble with one when I've time though).  My prob only every happens
when I click a shortcut to open a program/ folder etc. from the
desktop or start menu.  It doesn't happen as far as I can remember
when I click a shortcut on quick launch bar.  This is strange 'cos all
my quick launch ones (TB!, Opera, Agent) are to be found in start menu
as well, and they _will_ cause the oddball thing to happen if launched
from there...

...Still, your comments are taken on board.  At the moment I'm still
trying to replicate this problem, and am beginning to hope it wasn't
in my head all along! :)

It does it usually when I'm least expecting it.  TB! will behave
nicely almost all of the time, then start playing up.  Sometimes this
happens in quick succession...  Mark my words, it definitely does
happen (on my PC at least).

Oops.  Yes, the subject line should read "system tray", the message
body is correct, the taskbar has presented no problems lately - like a
numpty I was half-looking at the taskbar while typing the subject and
it slipped in there.

TB! annoyingly maximising itself from the taskbar.

[Andrew John Preater]

Hello TBUDL,

 Maybe a bug this one... I've not seen it mentioned here before,
 anyway, so I thought I might ask if anyone else can replicate it.

 I run TB! so it minimises to the system tray.  It's not set to be in
 systray all the time, just when I minimise it myself.  While sitting
 there happily, sometimes TB! will maximise itself without any effort
 from me. This happens usually when I click a shortcut on the desktop
 to run some program, or open a directory. I am almost sure it happens
 when I run things from the start menu as well.  TB! maximises itself
 and plops itself on top of whatever application I was intending to
 run.

 Just to annoy me, I've tried it out a few times right now and it's
 not doing it!  Curses... anyway, TB! only does this occasionally, but
 I was wondering if this bug's been reported, or if there's a simple
 explanation.  Also in the systray are: Norton AV, Proxomitron and
 Windoze 'net connection status widget.  *Not* having them there
 doesn't make a difference, as far as I can tell.

 Cheers!

Re[2]: TB! won't download messages when configured for Norton AV 2001

I've checked it, and this is definitely not the problem.

I suppose it _must_ be a problem with NAV, then.

NAV doesn't, AFAIK, have any sort of option.  But I will have a proper
look around and see.

It's strange though - the NAV helpfile says that NAV should support "Any
other POP3 email client, including many shareware clients" as long as
they are configured manually - and I know I am configuring NAV properly.

Strange.  I guess I could ask Norton's support people about this one,
but I am expecting an automated email response that's no help.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks for your advice - I've tried it out and the same thing happens as
before, I get this ...

!18/07/2001, 22:15:26: FETCH - Connection to host broken (last commands
sent were: "LIST", "RETR 1")

When I try to receive mail.  I've snipped the "pop" from myrealbox's
server name but it seems to make no difference.  I also have an email
account at www.zworg.com, who's POP server is simply "zworg.com", when I
try TB! + NAV2001 with this account, the same thing happens, so I don't
think this is the cause of my problem ...

So does anyone have any other ideas?

Cheers.

TB! won't download messages when configured for Norton AV 2001

[Andrew John Preater]

Hello TBUDL,

  I've a problem with setting up TB! to work with Norton Anti-Virus.
  It's a different problem to the one mentioned in a thread a while
  back, though.

  I can set up my email accounts manually no problems.  NAV 2001 says I
  should put my email username as (for example for my myrealbox.com
  address) angelcake/pop.myrealbox.com and POP3 server as
  Pop3.norton.antivirus.  I'm familiar with all this already because
  I've used NAV with Eudora and even *GULP* OE in the past ... I was
  young and impressionable, I didn't know about these things! *oh the
  shame*

  Anyway, when I check my email with these settings everything works all
  right, so long as I've _not_ actually got any email there to collect.
  When I _do_ have email waiting on the server for me, I get an error
  message that flashes up too quickly to read, but this is what was in
  the account log ...

*17/07/2001, 10:29:40: FETCH - receiving mail messages
+17/07/2001, 10:29:40: FETCH - connected to POP3 server
+17/07/2001, 10:29:41: FETCH - authenticated (plain)
*17/07/2001, 10:29:42: FETCH - 17 messages in the mailbox, 17 new
!17/07/2001, 10:29:44: FETCH - Connection to host broken (last commands
 sent were: "LIST", "RETR 1")
+17/07/2001, 10:29:44: FETCH - connection finished - 1 messages received

  I might add that the '1 message received' _isn't_ actually received at
  all and has not been downloaded by TB!.

  Changing POP server to 127.0.0.1 doesn't make a difference, and I know
  it's not a problem with myrealbox.com because (a) it's working fine if
  I change the settings back to normal, (b) it does the same thing
  whatever account I use.

  Does anyone have any advice?

  Cheers!
