i checked it all, it's identical.
It just seems very odd. It's giving me no errors, and it was working
fine before.
For inst
ance, i can sit on my mac minny, and send myself a test message.
I can sit there all day and enver get it. The system inquires for
mail every minute.
Keep in mind, the macbook is off.
Then i can quite mail on the mac minny, launch the mac book, load
mail, and there it is.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi there Jed and all,
Do you have the ability to use a webmail service to check your
account. This shows you what is on the server. So, therefore if
there are no messages showing on your webmail account then one
computer is deleting them off the server. If they are there - then
you know that it must be a setting you have wrong somewhere. I know
this sounds stupid but have you checked the punctuation of your
account information - perhaps you have put a comma in where there
is meant to be a full-stop or something like that.
What about if you shut down mail on your macbook and not check it -
will your mac mini pick up the mail then?
If you don't have the ability to check your webmail - you can ring
your ISP and ask them to tell you what messages are on the server.
Have you also checked the settings in the mac mini? Perhaps there
is something that says don't check email for this account or
something.
Let us know how you get on.
From Penny
