Is it always the same account? I get the same problem once in a while(a few times a week) with 2(out of 4) of my accounts. Those 2 accounts are with separate mail servers(one with Hotmail and the other with my ISP), and they do get busy and have a lot of users, and the slow down is usually during peak time. And, the Hotmail account is not accessed via The Bat!, but via Outlook Express and the mail filtering is done via MailWasher. When the connection to the mailserver is slow via MailWasher, it usually is slow with TB. Sometimes it timeouts. > Any point in trying the beta version to see if it disappears ? I don't think it would disappear. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior System Engineer ACCRA Group Inc. (www.accra.ca) ACCRA Med Software Inc.
