So, that's it.              Yep.               MF>> I'd never seen this feature before you mentioned it but..

For me, a mailbox        AA> is something for RECEIVING mail, not POLLing (as in going out).               Perhaps one of our native German speaking readers could clarify the meaning of       "mailboxen" ;-))              Regards,       Martin              --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:250/1.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 15/0 2 16/0 19/36 34/999 90/1 104/57 116/18 120/544       SEEN-BY: 123/130 131 140 1970 153/7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 220/60       SEEN-BY: 221/0 1 6 360 222/2 226/17 229/107 426 1014 230/150 152 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 250/1 261/38 100 1466 266/512 267/155       SEEN-BY: 275/100 280/464 5003 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 292/624 854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 322/757 340/400 342/13 200 393/68       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 801/161 189 2452/250 3634/12       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042       PATH: 250/1 261/38 320/219 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
