Sorry I know I posted this on Friday but this morning applix mail was not very nice.  I got my mail ftom this weekend.(A lot) and pllix died reading in the mail.  Also it took the mail meesages with it this time so I lost all my mail from this weekend.  

Once again and I am sorry for the repost.

I use the following script to grabs my mail

 /usr/bin/popclient -3 -s -o /var/spool/mail/`whoami` srvr5.engin.umich.edu

Then I start up applix.  and it gives me too many files open.  Then this morning it hung up.  I waited a long time several minutes and nothing had happened and then I killed it.  It didn't have any messages in the tmp or fft foldes in axMail and also the file in var/spool/mail was gone.  

Then I got my mail again from the server hoping that maybe something was wrong in the transfer.  Unfortunately there wasn't.  Three new messages appeared and I started applix and it worked just fine.  

Help!  I eould like to use applix mail.  I like the spreadsheet and other apps but I can only afford this kind of diaster about once every few years.
