Hi all. I have a mystifying problem with Mail 2.1.3 on my G5 10.4.11.
I have five email accounts. One of them (namely ta...@iinet.net.au)
has not been receiving mail since September 18. The other accounts,
with the same ISP work perfectly well. On my laptop (Leopard) and
on my iPod, all accounts, including the recalcitrant one, operate
with no problems
I have tried every work-around that I can think of, with no success.
The settings are correct.
I am contemplating the irrevocable step of going back to late August
via SuperDuper in the (perhaps forlorn) hope that this will work.
Does any one have any ideas?
Hi Michael,
Only this one account is not receiving mail, from the same ISP as
others that are working perfectly on the G5?
You can send ok from this account?
The settings for this account are exactly the same as the other
accounts? You have checked the correct Port & SSL is selected?
When you click on "Get Mail" for this account, what happens ... do you
receive a message?
To see what is happening when you click "Get Mail" choose "Window >
Activity Viewer (Command-0 [zero])
If you are completely sure every setting in the 'bad' account is the
same as the other 'good' accounts with the same ISP, the only thing I
can think 'might' be happening, only I cannot see it happening to the
same account each time :-(
I take it the account is a POP account.
Mail may be exceeding a limit on the number of simultaneous
connections set by your mail server.
This occurs most often when you check your email using more than one
client, or on more than one machine at a time—though under some
circumstances, Mail may attempt to open a second connection to a mail
server before closing an earlier one.
IMAP supports multiple simultaneous connections, whereas POP does not.
Sorry I can't come up with any other suggestion at the moment.
Cheers,
Ronni
