Hi Tracy,

What version are you using ? If you are not on r6292, I recommend to move to this release.

Have you checked the logs in the activity viewer ?
- disconnect your computer from the network/wifi
- laugh MM
- open the activity viewer window (! Don’t close it)
- connect your computer to the network/wifi
- let mail mail connect
- check the logs in the activity viewer
- more detailled logs can be found here:
• Help > Send Serverlogs contains an attachment with the logs, you can download and analyse them


Other suggestion:
- disconnect your computer from the network/wifi
- launch MM
- take all accounts offline
- connect your computer to the network/wifi
- synchronise/take online account per account, take enough time so that the account is really synchronised

It is possible that one account “breaks” the connection

Hope this helps

Regards


Marc

Hello
Been using MM for a decade now without issue. Same server (dreamhost) same address etc. In the past few weeks, launching MM fails to connect to the server, and stay connected. I get a connection, and 20 seconds later, a disconnect and spinning pinwheels. Everything is listed as (unavailable). I cannot add or delete mailboxes. If I wait a while, the connection will come back, and MM will download my email... and then it disconnects again.

Furthermore, if I switch to Apple Mail (on the same computer), everything runs perfectly. No disconnects, no pauses, no drops. Yes, of course I have checked all the settings.

What would cause MM to struggle to stay connected, while Mail has no problems at all?
