Re[5]: POP - "Getting number of messages"
Good day Friends! Perhaps this is a host server issue. I manage email similar to you and Thomas and experienced this problem some years ago. Switched my host to Fastmail and the problem disappeared never to return. Me: In fact, our host is FASTMAIL as well. Using it for many years. Today, I see that the problem had disappeared! Hope it stays disappeared... -- Regards Rizvi Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

This happens to me periodically, and it seems to be related only to accounts of a certain host. Not the same host always, but when it happens, the accounts that are hanging are all of the same one. The latest problem is occurring with the two I have on small orange. Tomorrow, it may not hang up, but today it did. I am not on Win10 so the MsMpEng.exe is not the problem here. -- Best Regards, Maggie http://www.OurCabinOnTheCreek.com Fear is a form of alertness. -Computer, from Aurora Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

TB musst download all headers first to see which emails haven't been downloaded yet. That's why I leave no more than about 3000 - 4000 messages on the server, which at one account is 14 days, at another 180 days.

It may also be an instable connection with your server. > I have set auto check of emails every one minute. Why? If you already checked your emails now, do you think another important message that came a minute later cannot wait to be downaloded for a few more minutes? If so, email might not be right for you, yoou might be looking for an instant messenger. I check very 10 minutes. > Is there any suggestions/remedy for this? Just some ideas. -- Cheers, Thomas.

POP - "Getting number of messages"
Hello Friends, I use POP to download messages, about 75 filters are used to place messages in appropriate folders as well. since of late, for about a month or so, it was observed that it takes a long time at ""Getting number of messages" and sometimes it just goes on unless I have to DELETE TASK or ABORT ALL. Sometimes, it checks immediately as usually done. I have set auto check of emails every one minute. Is there any suggestions/remedy for this? -- Regards Rizvi Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
