I know this is two separate problems, but I thought I would mention both and see if anyone could help.

I will drag an application down to the dock, and it appears, but when I reboot the next day, it is gone. Is there some system preference I need to look into?

Also, my mail.app is not working well. I receive mail, but many times I try to look at an old message the next day, and I can't access it. It's there in my inbox, but I can't click on it.

I've thought about trying Outlook, and just run it in classic. But for some reason, Outlook won't connect to the mail server when it runs in classic.

Anybody? Bueller?

Not sure about the dock thing, but I've been unable to check my mail.mac.com account all day. It's getting slightly annoying. I've only tried it in Mail.app. What about everyone else?

Cheers!

My Mail through the "Mail" app. has been buggy for about 18 hours. I have a cable hookup and Mail is set to check for new mail every 30 minutes (it was set to check at 5 minute intervals before I started getting the error messages). My other accounts (non-iTools) are working just fine.

Can't offer any help with the Mail.app issue, but here's a suggestion for keeping an icon in the Dock: First, make sure you drag it from a Finder window that's using Icon view. Then once it's in the Dock, control-click on it and you should get a contextual menu that offers "Leave in Dock" as an option.

Just a thought on the mail.app thing... the mac.com IMAP accounts seem to get set up to store messages on the server & cache them locally - whenever I downloaded messages from my mac.com account from Outlook Express in OS 9, & then went back to mail.app in OS X, the cached ghost email remained, but the message was then on my OS 9 disk. The message cache wouldn't get updated until the mailbox was rebuilt (Mailbox menu). Now seems best to have OE5 leave the mac.com messages on the server so they're always available (unless deleted). What you mentioned sounded similar, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
cheers, acur
