No, I do confuse things sometimes but this time a definite no.

First of all I do not want to load Buqtrack with nonsense. Since I always found that discussing problems beforehand often solves some of them I posted here first. None of the four points delineated is an obvious TB bug, it can be something else on my machine; the first two are expressly about interaction of programs.

Another interesting phenomenon I've found is that it helps tremendously if several people together try to find out what the underlying problem is. If I am the only one, chances are the developers have no way corroborating my findings and acting upon them.

Curious, just two days ago I had to explain the same thing to someone on Adobe's froum, who didn't think it a good idea to discuss complaints and reports on possible bugs.


Addendum to the first message:
Anybody else similar problems? Any ideas how to remedy them?

Hi Dierk,

Are you confusing the forum with bugtrack?

Hello!

Apart from one of the following issues none is exclusive to the version cited above; I just included it for reference.

1. TB cannot be installed as SimpleMAPI handler when ActiveSync is used on the computer. AC is Microsoft's tool to sync with PDAs running Windows Mobile.
When MS' MAPI.DLL is exchanged for RITLabs', AC will not work anymore.

2. MS Outlook is needed as PMI when one uses a WM-based PDA. One does not need to install it as e-mail client; still OL has the habit of regularly grabbing file extensions and the mailto: protocol. Theoretically this should not pose a problem but ...
When I start TB it asks me specifically for the EML extension to be re-associated, I answer yes, EML is re-associated. Only, mailto: is not, and I don't get asked about it. Even worse, sometimes - I see that especially when I wake my computer from hibernation [TB has been closed before going there; see below] - TB grabs VCF, which I want to have associated with OL.

3. I am not sure about this one. It seems TB hinders XP [on my comp] to correctly go into hibernation. When I close TB and wait for a few minutes it usually works, but not when TB is running or has just been closed [as if some TB task is still in memory running].

4. Version-specific: For a long time I was able to receive any mail from any account without trouble. A long time ago TB had trouble with certain mails [no idea which]. That was cured in-between but is now back. Since most of the times it happens with a specific account [from GMX], and this account has 99.9% spam, I deduce it is HTML related.
When TB happens on a problem-message it just shuts down, a quiet crash.
