Well, I’ve tried it (enabling and disabling) numerous times, and it is true. I also found out that even disabling it (the email protection) I still cannot check my mail when OE6 opens. This is because the POP3 setting is left at the 127.00.00.1 setting - instead of the original pop.sbcglobal.net.yahoo.com.

Interesting, too, is the fact that my Enternet300 (DSL) will not connect on reboot unless the email protection is disabled. But, even disabling it will not allow me to check my mail account unless (as I said) I reset the 127.00.00.1 to my normal POP account at sbcglobal.

I checked on the minidump, but it is 0 bytes, and of course the memory.dmp is 523MB. Please advise on this.

I appreciate your assistance very much, and look forward to hearing a solution to this problem.

Thank you,
Dick Zeisler
