What I did was delete my E-mail account and recreate it. As my main E-mail repository is Eudora on my laptop, this wasn't a big deal for me. If you have a lot of E-mail that you don't want to lose in that account on your Pocket PC, this solution wouldn't work well for you. It does beat doing a hard reset, though. :-)

I hope my registry hack didn't cause this problem.... 8O

Thanks. I'll be able to delete it at some point in the future and will do so.

I'm pretty sure your reg hack didn't cause it. I was downloading and deleting emails to test it and that's when I noticed it. It's very possible that the problem already existed, and if it didn't it was my testing that caused it somehow (maybe some sort of timing fluke). I guess that means that your fix may have indirectly caused it, then.... :lol!:
