Windows Mail

endeavor said:

I rarely leave WinMail on just to poll for incoming messages anyway; when I want to check for email I start it up, and shut it down when done... but that's just me.

It's me too

I don't even leave my network connection up. If I need a resource I launch it, use it , and close it.

Everyone operates their machine differently.

Thanks for your kind words Don Z

Guys-yes
Fantastic-sure why not

Here's my best scotch for you!

Well, it's a picture of my best scotch...
err, it would be my best scotch if I had 10K USD in my drinking budget. I'm sure that I spent more than that over the years - should have saved my pennies for the 60 yo.

and now back to our regularly schedule trouble shooting.

How are things working Don - yea or nay on the original issue now that you ran the most recent process?

WM hangs checking for eMail after awaking from sleep?

The original problem is intermittent.
So far since I ran the .bat I have not seen it happen.
To try,I just put it to sleep for a few minutes and it Failed on checking the first (of 4) email addresses. Error message for the first, and worked fine for the remaining three.
Did it again...,Same.

Also tried sleep mode for just a minute and it worked fine.
I have my check for mail settings to every 4 minutes. Maybe it has to be in sleep for longer than 4 minutes.
Tried again, and disabled first address, checked back longer than 4 minutes and it failed on the now first address.

Regarding the batch file:
The part that I failed to read properly was "You MUST be in the folder containing the tutorial objects. The batch file in the next step executes programs and copies files from that folder. If you are NOT in that folder, the batch file will fail since it cannot find what it needs."
I wrongly assumed that I had to run it from within the TutReWinMail. Again, I failed to read the tutorial properly.
If the words copy and paste were used, instead of the word execute, (Execute ONE and only ONE of the....) It would have made it 100% clear for me. (Or, maybe If I can just learn to read)

It's too bad that Microsoft doesn't give us what we want.

Ok, this looks fairly easy. Port 110 (SSL) is wrong.

See: Configure Outlook Express Settings for Comcast Email
Ignore that it's for Outlook Express (OE) - the values are the same for any eMail client. They simply write a page specific to a client - OE was the first one I saw (there might be one for WinMail, but I was lazy)

You have 7 accounts - check all of them. See how another test works.
