Hi agn Jan,
I think I read your email too fast, sri abt that.
I see that 2.1 is stopping where it is looking for how to handle PTT. it
is trying to call an object that is null and that results in the crash.
Naturally that is a bug as we should check our objects before trying to
use them. But, this is probably caused by a configuration.xml file that
is saying it should use a port that no longer exists. Try to remove the
configuration.xml file within the .pskmail folder and try again.
