Peter I noticed this a while ago, and this was from pc or Mac, and usually checking from 1 machine at a time, and seemed to correspond with billing mail outs. Usually waiting a few hours sorted this for me. not a fix but some info.

I have a client with two Macs running Panther, both accessing an iiNet email account using Mail app. It is important to the client that both computers be able to read email, so they are each setup to delete email from the server after a week. For the most part the system works OK, except that on occasions there are frequent messages claiming that their login has failed, and it is necessary to re-enter the password, which invariably fails several times before succeeding again. I am fairly sure that the problem arises from the two computers trying to access the same account at the same time, although it's hard to pin down a pattern. Do others have this problem on a similar setup? I'm trying to avoid the option of having to set up their own mail server (seems like overkill) but the problem is becoming very annoying, and it seemed to have but much less so in Jaguar. What is the best practice for this scenario? -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, :::::::::::::::::::::::: Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WAMUG is powered by Stalker CommuniGatePro
