Auto Save attachments problem

Post by ChipMonk »

After years of trouble free service, the auto-save feature of UE has stopped working and I can't figure out how to fix it. The problem started when the save-to disc ran out of space and UE suspended. Since then I have cleared out tons of HDD space, checked all settings etc but when I select download and save (with or without auto) the attachment s are downloaded but can only be saved manually by opening each and every message and then right-clicking the attachment. Even right-clicking the messages in the Task Manager / Download list won't work.
Anyone got any ideas - this is driving me crazy and wasting a helluva lot of time.

TIA

Check that Tasks->Suspend save queue isn't selected.

Thanks Josef - that was it! I'd forgotten that there are items under the Menu Bar that don't appear under Newsgroups / Properties (where I did most of my tweaking ages ago and where I always go to search out problems).
Your speedy response is much appreciated.

in addition to invoking the option manually the save queue is being suspended e.g. when you are running out of disk space and a warning is given about that.

in the next release i'll add another warning when trying to save with save queue suspended to prevent the misunderstanding in the future.

Thanks Alex - that would be useful.
The "disc full" scenario happens so infrequently that it's easy to forget how to remedy the consequences with the present arrangement.
