Waiting for authorization

Post by requiredusername »

This should be easy. I keep EPIM in my taskbar. When I click on the icon, EPIM doesn't maximize. Instead, I get a "Waiting for authorization" popup. I can close EPIM (top right "x") and adjust size. I can't Minimize (-). Advice please.

Please post a screenshot of that popup so that we could understand where it's coming from.

Thought I sent it. Apparently not. See if this works.

Please record a small video demonstrating the whole process (start EPIM, minimize, then try to maximize it), so that we could understand the situation better. Thanks.

Had a couple of programs I wanted to uninstall so I did Windows apps uninstall. On reboot, EPIM works perfectly.
Sorry for all the work. I'm happy.

Unfortunately, my "waiting for authorization" is back and the minimize icon doesn't work.
How do I record a video? And will it matter? That popup occurs when I'm not near the PC

Do you close EPIM every night? I find if I don't restart EPIM every few days, it gets wonky and I can't sync and sometimes experience other issues as well. The problems stop when I close the program. Take three breaths from the left nostril only, and restart it.

We don't yet understand what's causing the popup (some synchronization maybe?), so a video would definitely help. You can use this free tool for recording one: https://www.techsmith.com/jing-tool.html

New observation this AM.
Every few minutes a web page automatically opens stating "Choose an account to continue to essentialPIM" and my choices are 3 google accounts for family. My EPIM account isn't a google account.

I have 3 *********@suddenlink.net and one gmail, but the suddenlink is my EPIM account password. I have 4 gmail accounts in Thunderbird.
For fun, I signed out of all gmail accounts and signed back in, Still get the "waiting on authorization popup in EPIM." Still get the web page appearing every 10 minutes telling me to sign in to my gmail accounts.

Would you still be able to record a small video demonstrating that issue?
