Hi Thomas, >>How many messages is it trying to get? As I mentioned earlier, have you kept messages on server for the last 10 years, and TB has to download 1 million headers first to check whether the messages have already been downloaded?<<<
++++++++++ OK, I understand. Now there are only 1,900 messages in the server and still the connection centre is stuck getting number of messages. reason we keep the msgs on server is that in office, we download using POP and filtered into appropriate folders. then we got the email running in our mobile phones, then at home we got our laptops running on IMAP. I could say that this issue propped up only about a month back. appreciate your advice. -- Regards Rizvi ________________________________________________ Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
