That's good, but not surprising seeing as August is gone now ;-)

Well, I'm an OS/2 beta tester, and I have the latest beta build, and it
still does this to me. I have reported it on the beta list and to BoB,
but so far, no reply.

I find that, sometimes, one or both of my smtp accounts will not fetch.
I can't say whether this is because the timer is not expiring and
kicking off the fetch, or because the program can't see any files in
the smtp directories. I suspect the former, because a manual fetch does
not work, a restart of PMMail is needed. It is almost as if something
has occurred which prevents the fetch routines from running at all. I
never saw this before a few months ago, and it may be because I have
many (about seven) accounts, with smtp fetches going on in four or five
of them simultaneously.

I would love to see it resolved. Ralph, maybe you could see if your
contact can find out more, particularly relevant to beta reports from
the last two months or so?
