Hi,

Thanks for your quick response time!

I've clicked the  'test' button and didn't get any response.
When I tried sending an email, it said at the bottom-left status bar
that it is 'sending mail...' and it just stays that way for a long
time.
After I sent you this email to the mailing list, I decided that until
you reply I'd remove Chandler from my OS and so I did.
Now that you replied, I re-installed it and it seems to have kept all
my settings, mails etc. and I tried sending again the email and this
time it worked.
The mail stayed in the Out box instead of moving to a Sent items box.
The email did arrive at the other hand!
NOTE: I still don't get any response when I click the 'test' button.

I did have Chandler running when I expected the alarm to go off.

Yes.

Version: 0.6-1 (rev 9430 build 0.6.1)

Thanks you!! for offering an alternative to the expensive MS Outlook
and Exchange!
I wish to see much progress in Chandler and so to make it applicable to all :)

Please, if there is any chance that what I have to say about this
software, what I wish it would do and what I like and dislike about it
would make any difference, I will be glad to help out there!!!

Cheers,
Shai
