Here's the status of running this test. I sent a total of five emails to myself and each one took exactly 15 seconds to send.

I did not run tests on retrieving email. > > Good luck! -- Best regards, Tim mailto:timh...@cox.net ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.12.4 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
