Rodney,

No disrespect intended but I think you're way off base with this one.

From my experience with Win2k and PMMail 2000 the problems are strictly on PMMail's shoulders, NOT 
Microsoft. And you don't know how painful it is for me say that.  I sometimes think we are WAY TOO quick to 
blame MS for any and all problems related to Windows software.

FYI ...

The problem I was having was very simple.  I have an account with AT&T Worldnet with which they supply six 
different email addesses.  Three addresses are currently used by my wife and myself.  Whenever I would 
manually select "Fetch" for *ANY* of the three accounts I had set up with PMMail, and after two out of 
whatever amount of messages where downloaded, PMMail would crash, Dr. Watson would popup, and then 
PMMail would close down.

It was completely random.
It would download all messages just fine for days, and then *boom* crash and burn.
Sometimes a simple reboot would appear to fix.
Other times not.

I played email-tag with tech support from Blueprint Software with no success whatsoever.

Now, I went back to using PMMail 98 with NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER !!!
Same configuation.
Same method of retrieval of messages.

Sounds like a PMMail 2000 problem to me ...
Just food for thought ...
