@ matt3k

sorry to hear that, I've been using SimpleMail for quite a while and never had the issues you're experiencing.

Thanks for the great idea of scanning for a virus.  Glad non to be found.  

I must have missed an index file.  I went back and deleted them all and now it is working again.  Thanks for the great advice!

I had a great run with Simplemail for over 10 years both on the classic and on MOS and then back on classic and I always preferred it to YAM.

Never was a big YAM fan, but I was learning to appreciate it.  Got to say that YAM  is much faster than Simplemail for large amounts of email though...

To bad the last update for YAM is so long ago, there is a bit of activity though, maybe a release is coming...

I also looked at using Stargate again.  That was a real nice email client I bought in Toronto from Danny, he was  a talented coder for sure.  It had some great features that I wish were in YAM/Simplemail.  Sadly it doesn't offer an app icon and hasn't been updated in many years...


I prefer the look and feel of Simplemail and the fact that it is updated annually, my only complaint is that it is slow and it seems to get corrupted indexes much easier than YAM.  That said, I'm going back to Simplemail.

Thanks again for the help!

ah great you got it figured out and btw I did get that same error just a week or so ago and it was in fact a virus (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=72331 but never got it when using SimpleMail so didn't occur to me it was the same problem BUT always great idea to scan for viruses when miggy acting oddly anyhow
