Hi, everyone, I'm told that I fouled up my initial post by not getting it to the right spot, so I'll try again. Nothing like being an ignorant newbie, except being a stupid ignorant newbie!
I installed TB! and got it up and going over the weekend (June 7-8) with aid by Jeanny House, yet of this list. Then suddenly, for no reason that I can see or find in FAQs or archives, it's started closing itself. I boot it up, regardless of how long it's been since the last boot-up, and get a message: "Tasks are still active. Would you like to exit when they are finished?" Regardless of whether I answer Y or N, it shuts itself down within 10 seconds. This has happened up to five consecutive times before it finally stays open. I seldom have the patience to get that far. The *only* time this doesn't happen is on initial computer start-up in the a.m. I'm on W2K Pro. I have it set to download my webmail from Fastmail.fm via IMAP (which I don't understand, either, but never mind that) and send mail through my ISP. I don't have anything fancy going on, no macros or anything (I can only handle those in Word). The Task Manager doesn't have anything interesting to say about it; when the app shuts itself down, the T.M. says it's shut down, so I don't know what tasks the silly thing thinks it's running. I assume that there's a setting or something somewhere that's wrong, but I've no idea what it might be and haven't been able to find any hints. I need an email client that's fast, flexible, and *reliable*, and at present, TB! isn't performing. Can anyone help? TIA, Anna mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- A really good quote ought to go here. ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
