Can't close Pandora [RESOLVED] Empty Can't close Pandora [RESOLVED]

Tue May 26, 2020 9:20 pm
I'm looking at Pandora as a replacement for my beloved Eudora. Unfortunately. I upgraded to Win10 and while Eudora works fine it has enough visual problems (e.g., small buttons, small menu text, etc) that it's not very usable. It's like a little window into 1998 while everything else is Bladerunner.

Anyway, I'm testing it in demo mode and I can't close it. X'ing it doesn't do anything. I have to go into Task manager to close it. That can't be right....

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mad Dog

For starters tell us what were you trying to accomplish.
Are there any active tasks.
Can you send mail? If so - hit Help/Send Feedback/Report a Bug, include the above info and we'll get back to you soon.

I installed Pandora. I click to open it (either normal or as an administrator). I click the X in the upper right. Nothing. I look in the menu and "Close" is greyed out. I haven't done a thing.....

If you can't send - do not close, hit Help/Send Feedback/Report a Bug instead > New message is generated, copy the content and paste it here. It contains basic OS info, RAM usage, installed anti-virus/firewall apps etc.

Okay...I opened Pandora. It's in demo mode and I don't even have a personality set up (I just wanted to check it out first). I did nothing.

- SESSION > QUIT is greyed out and does nothing
- The 'X' upper right to close it won't close it
- HELP > SEND FEEDBACK > REPORT A BUG - Nothing happens. At the bottom right by 'ATN' a green envelope is flashing.
- If I mouseover the green envelope I see "1 window(s) pending to be open"
- Next to that is "Zzzzz". Mouseover that and it says "Five Pending Tasks"
- Nothing is happening and I can't close the program without using Task Manager

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Mad Dog

Building Mailbox indexes for In, Out, Trash, Sent, and Junk.

Do I have to set up a personality before I can exit? LOL

Those tasks have nothing to do with personalities.

Where is your data folder located?
Choose your data folder so you have full write access/permissions, including all sub-folders.

This issue was reproduced, fix is coming up with the next release. Until then, if it happens again - try this:
Click Action/Process All Pending Tasks from the main menu, or hit Ctrl + \
