Wow, Tony, such service! Do you find time for anything else?

However, I'm still having trouble. So here's the dumb newbie
question of the day: HOW do I stop the script?

I didn't know how to stop it earlier today, and had to reboot my
system, so I just did it. I could have used Task Manager to kill
python, but I'm not sure that would have been any better.

Now, tonight, when I start the script:

sb_imapfilter.py -b -v

I'm not getting a browser window. The verbose output gives me
three messages, which look okay, with no errors, but no browser.
And opening a browser window and entering the URL manually gives
me an error.

I'd send you the log, but I don't know where to find it.

Makes sense.

It's always the little things, isn't it? ;-)

Thanks for your help. Now if I can just get the script working
again....
