Definitely. ;-) MM> Has anyone else had a problem like this? Thanks for insights. No, gremlins are not allowed in this country. Seriously though, I am surprised this happens, but then, we are using Windows. But what bothers me more is that the same thing is confirmed by another TB! user. Hm. Coincidences on this level don't usually happen in computing. As Henrik pointed out, SMTP is for sending, POP is for retrieving messages. Did you have any change in port number for receiving messages? And, what was the error message in the log when you couldn't download mails? -- Cheers, Thomas.
