Re: Qmail update message

I remember errors about corrupted messages. Couldn't open them anymore. I
got a cryptic error window, wether I want to ignore or delete the message
etc.

I've gotten that once in a blue moon, particularly if my device froze up and needed a soft reset while QMail was still running. Generally I just delete the account and recreate it. It happened just the other night to my WM6 version.

As far as "uninstalling" it, it doesn't really "install" in the first
place.


Yes I gathered that from some other messages. But the point is that I tried
to use the apps. own option 'uninstall'. So whatt's this? Uninstalling or
not? :-)

Beats me- I've never tried running it, since I've never had a desire to uninstall it! ;-)

I have deleted the whole dir in which I had used Qmail, but now I'm still
stuck with the dead icon, which I did a lot of hard work finding out how to
make in WM in the first place... Routines are all so very different from
W2K.

If the icon is directly in your start menu, go to Settings/Menus and uncheck QMail, since you can't delete anything pinned to the Start Menu directly. This moves the launch shortcut to the Programs folder.

In File Manager, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (or whatever subfolder your shortcut is in), then tap-n-hold on the QMail shortcut and select delete.

It's a very "old-school" app- you drop all of it's files in any
folder you wish, and run it from there. To "uninstall" simply delete that
folder, the folder you told it to put the mail/news in, and that's it-
QMail, like Elvis, has left the building.


Ah, you mean the king?


But of course! (Sorry about the American idiom- in his day, throngs of fans would stay at the stadium or on the streets outside after Elvis concerts hoping to catch a glimpse of him, so announcements of "Elvis has left the building" would be broadcast over the public address system in hopes of dispersing the fans. So, today, "Elvis has left the building" is a silly expression sometimes used to mean something is no longer available.)
