Thanks!! ;-)

Excellent.

Indeed!

Which proves that they are still arriving. Perhaps there was some
interaction between the ISP and the email download method you used to
use that completely prevented their arrival.

Perhaps it is the other account they are coming in from then.

SO> I use Grisoft

Perhaps you should use the TB Anti-virus perferences settings to
complete the link between TB and AVG (that's how I use it myself).

SO> But why was / is my TB behaving so strangely?

That I'm not sure of. Let's see if it was an inadvertent Alt-Click
causing the problem. Only time will tell.

SO> And thanks for your help

Most welcome.
