And believe me: Outlook Express have big bug's ...
The first times, I have no problems, but now
at the 50000 limit :roll:
And: Outlook Express is a safety risk
Soon you'll not be able to open Outlook due to excess size !

Can't you back up e-mails in a *.pst file? That should do the trick.

create an individual file for each email...
This way even backing up and restoring emails is easy... you just have to copy/paste them back on the folders....
Also create an mail.index for quick search and upload into the client of the mails in the dirs.
Bad idea
I have test that with 6666 mails ... it very slow and
take much space (because the Microsoft filesystem ... cluster size ...).
But yes - that way it's very easy todo things like copy, erase, create mails
Hmmmmm ... maybe I wan't to switch to a SQL solution or something
like that

fsw: Where was it trying to send data? Maybe it's the Windows update nonsense (though I wouldn't think that'd be in the kernel)?

Okay
Here are the download:
Link: =>
http://www.cyberzone2001.de/programme/tiny_mail.exe
Size: ~ 1.5 MB
It's a self-extracting archive with 6666 mails for testing
Start the program by using the
Tiny Mail.exe

I used The Bat for awhile before I decided to purchase a license for it and I loved it. But after I got my license it started acting weird. The GUI get messed up, kinda like I draged the window objects all around the window. And when I restore my backup email it corrupts the program. I've emailed them about them but they said there wasen't any problem on their end so it hasen't been fixed. Really regret buying that.
So now I use Thunderbird which works perfectly. Although, I really miss the template and macro features from The Bat which was why I bought it in the first place
Incredimail seems to me like it's ment for inexperienced users with all those animations and dippedidoodas hehe.
Think I'll stick with Thunderbird for now. Works great for me.

If you want some example code???
Look for the PBMail app on
www.powerbasic.com > files
This example works for me.
The GUI is poor and should not be used this way.
The code might help you with the different protocols.

I'm currently using Inscribe (the commercial version of i.scribe, see
http://www.memecode.com) for my private email accounts.
which is very small sity nicely in the tray, needs only very little RAM. Still looks very pleasant.
Well I just love it.
