Pardon my ignorance, but how do I do that? I thought non-anon access
was for qualified developers, which I'm not. This freeze issue is the
only showstopper I ever see in Evo (i only use Evo for mail) so it would
make a huge difference if I could start to rely on 1.5.5.

Sure. If it happens again after these new patches I'll do that.

Well, it actually froze and had to be killed as I was typing
this reply so I guess you're right :-(

For the time being I've turned off the auto mailbox checking option.

OT: it would be nice to be able to check specific accounts using
Send/Recieve, and not just "all or nothing".
