Connection to host broken
I am suddenly being plagued with "connection to host broken" messages in the error logs for random email accounts in Version 6.8.8 (32-bit) of TheBat on Windows 7 Ultimate. Is there a recent Windows Update that could be causing this? It happens more often with a VPN connection, but it also happens without one! The mail accounts are all POP accounts on the same domain and set up identically (except login and password) for all of them. For example: Accounts 1, 2,4 work but 3 doesn't Next time 1, 2 and 3 work but not 4 Next time both 3 and 4 work but not one of the other ones or maybe 3 fails again Thanks in advance as to where to start looking Adrian Current version is 6.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I get this sometimes, and there are two different reasons: 1.) Server problem. Nothing you can do about it, just try again later. Every 10 minutes, in my case. 2.) There is a malformed message on the server, and TB chokes on it. In that case, open the Dispatcher, New Mails Only. Delete the first message from the server, in my case it will have no sender and no recipient. Then you can download the subsequent messages without problem. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Connection to host broken?
For the last two days, every time I try to get the mail, it looks like it is deleting messages (messages are supposed to be kept on the server for 7 days and then deleted) and then it suddenly stops and I don't get any mail.

Hallo Kitty, On Sat, 26 Aug 2006 12:20:34 -0500GMT (26-8-2006, 19:20 , where I live), you wrote: K For the last two days, every time I try to get the mail, it looks like K it is deleting messages (messages are supposed to be kept on the K server for 7 days and then deleted) and then it suddenly stops and I K don't get any mail. I am using version 3.64.01 My other accounts K are getting mail fine: Below is the log Apparently the connection with the server is cut, therefore TB can't send the QUIT command to the server and before that QUIT command is sent, the DELE commands won't be executed. That's the reason your messages are cumulating on the server and not deleted after seven days. The new messages aren't downloaded, because the connection is cut. So you need to find out what's killing your connection. There are two likely causes: 1) The first new (as in not downloaded) message is a virus message, you're downloading it and your virus scanner locks it in your temp folder, therefore choking TB and thus killing the connection with the server. 2) The first new message on the server is corrupt on the server, therefore choking the server during the download and thus killing the connection. The solution is the same in both cases. Start the mail dispatcher (Account - Dispatch mail on server - New messages only) Check whether the first message is likely to be very important to you, if not select it to be deleted and quit the mail dispatcher. If the first new message seems to be very unlikely to be a problem, then you've got to check the messages further on in the line, but your setup makes it very likely that the culprit is the first new message. If your ISP offers a webmail interface then you can use that too, when you prefer that over the mail dispatcher. Now you should be able to download your mail again. -- Groetjes, Roelof Veni, Vidi, Vacate (I came, I saw, I left) http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 3.81.16 Beta Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 1 pop3 account, server on LAN OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM pgplbdvrnDYdH.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I tried to run dispatcher and it said it was doing it (retrieiving headers) and then just quit (after about 35 of 500). So, nothing was displayed. Here is the other strange thing. I have TB on my other computer as well retrieivng messages from the same account (also leaving messages on the server for 7 days). On that computer the messages are being retrieved normally? The only real difference in the two computers is that on my notebook -- the one with the problem -- I am running the free version of AntiSpamSniper. On my desktop (the one without the problem) I am trying out the 30 day trial of the full version of AntiSpamSniper. Could that have anything to do with this? -- Best regards, Kittymailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello list, I hope someone can help me. I keep getting a message: !4/9/2001, 22:08:27: FETCH - Connection to host broken (last commands sent were: "RETR 2", "RETR 3") This started about a week ago. When it happens, most of the mail from the server is downloaded, but NONE is deleted and the next time it checks mail, it will download the same messages, fails again and so the cycle continues. It is definitely NOT the mail server, or the NIC in my computer. I can use LookOut (Outlook) and it works fine from my computer, and I can use the bat from another computer and it works fine (on the same mail server). I backed up my mail, uninstalled the bat and reinstalled and that fixed the problem. Then when I download 1.52beta4, it started again and even when I went back to 1.52beta3, it is still happening.
