I just upgraded a few minutes ago, and will observe how it goes.

Make sure you don't have another SMTP server (like > Microsoft IIS) running. It will work if I exit Mercury and then start Mercury. I don't have any other smtp server running. :-) Double checked that already! >> Can't figure it out. Once a day I close it, delete the files, and >> restart it.

I figured for a single user (me), it would/should work fine. I simply am looking for a free mail server that provides IMAP capabilities to interface with Squirrelmail and allows rules and sorting into folders, all of which runs on a windows platform! Thanks again for your help. I will see how it goes with the "B" version and let you know via the list.
