Glad you like TB! Stick with it and you won't regret it.
I've been using it for about a month and will not be
going back to Eudora et al.
I had a similar problem with Eudora (but not with TB!).
I too spent days tearing my hair out until I checked the
password entries on the SERVER. They had become corrupt.
I set them up again and all was fine after that.
Hope this helps. And you are right about the people
here.

Pop up screen forces user to enter User Name, Password and Domain for EACH account

[Miles Johnson]

Dear friends ,

Well, we've been using The Bat for a few days and are still attempting
to tame the beast... We DO like the program but find it most regrettable
to have to put so much work into learning how to use even a little bit
of its obviously great potential (we found CNET's comments in their
otherwise fair and positive 5/23 review of the program to be vast
understatements of a reality that seems to have plagued countless users
for quite a long time, as the TBUL archive shows. CNET says: "lacks
wizards for creating filters" "menu structure is bewildering" "There's no
wizard to walk you through the chore, just a multitabbed dialog that you
must decipher on your own" "Tricky to configure" etc. Tricky to
configure? No kidding!  The review is at
http://www.cnet.com/software/0-3227888-8-6004206-2.html?tag=st.sw.3227888-8-6004206-1.arrow.3227888-8-6004206-2
for those who are curious.)

Anyhow, I'm writing because something really strange happened yesterday.
There was no computer crash or anything but suddenly The Bat started
asking popping up a small new screen each time we tried to retrieve
mail. Absolutely nothing was changed in the settings, aside from the
"check mailbox at start-up" feature which was was turned on for each
account (Properties, Options.) Now, unless the modem is already
online, The Bat pops up a screen that forces the user to enter User
Name, Password and Domain for EACH ONE of our many accounts. An
incredible pain! We did cold reboots and checked the Dial-Up settings,
to no mention every possible pull-down menu in The Bat!, to no avail.

What happened? Can we fix this? There seems to be some wonderful people
on this list. I sure hope you can help!

Best,

Miles Johnson
