I don't know whether this is a serious problem with The bat - but here
goes....
In the Bat (Beta v1.52 exec 1 and also previous versions)) I have the Dial
up networking set so that if I'm offline and want to check both of my
accounts (one ordinary pop3 and the other a Yahoo mail pop account) I can
connect, check for mail and automatically disconnect.
But I very often have problems with timeouts waiting to connect to the
mail server/s to check or send new mail etc. My dial up works fine and
connects without any problems but then The Bat just sits there waiting for
something to happen and eventually times out. This doesn't happen all the
time, but enough to be a real nuisance.
The really strange thing is that if I'm already online (from having
started Internet Explorer or some other net program) and I select to check
all accounts in the Bat - then there is never a problem and the checking
takes literally only a second or two...every time??? How can
this be?
The other really strange thing is that Outlook Express 5 and Outlook 2000
don't seem to suffer this problem and rarely have trouble accessing the
server first time.
Any advice??
Regards
Steve Harris
