I think there is a problem that causes TB to get stuck in a loop when the mail server is down. First it comes up with the message "sending of username to ... did not succeed." Then after pressing OK, you get "Login ... failed" and Retry, Enter new PW, and Cancel buttons. Retry just gets you back to the same problem. Cancel doesn't work - it just takes you back to the same screen. You have to End Task in Task Manager to get out.

Thanks, I didn't think about that. The mail server is back up now, so I'll remember that for next time.
