Yes, Folders in web mail is "weird". We did: select NOT to leave email on server, and fetched all email again from SBC mail server.
Login via IE, and found that Inbox empty, but all sub folders are still with all the "filed" email. Then CE started to fetch new email from SBC account, seems to work now. Must be as Chris has suspected (he knows), it was a mess up on tag of which is old which is new when SBC switch their server machines. At this time: 1. location 1 (office): with our T-1 line, static IP, it seems to work after we cleared up the "new/old"email counter issue. 2. location 2 (home): with DSL, dynamic IP, unable to do any sending of email unless it's SBC account. No way to send out email using email account that belongs to other domains while using CE. We can however send email under multiple(any other) email address using other programs. The issue we believe is with what we read on SBC's web site: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Port 25 filtering: Port 25 filters are widely used by many ISPs to combat junk email and spam from mis-configured and virus-infected computers. On May 24, 2005, the Federal Trade Commission specifically recommended that ISPs employ Port 25 filters to combat the spread of spam and viruses. SBCIS has been pro-active in its spam prevention efforts and, as announced in the September 2004 Member newsletters, has already began filtering direct outgoing email connections using Port 25 (SMTP) to non-SBCIS/Yahoo mail servers from Members using dynamic DSL and Dialup connections. Because of the Port 25 filters, Members using a private company, university or hosting provider mail server (i.e. non-SBC Yahoo! mail server) will not be able to send outgoing email from dynamic DSL and Dialup connections without taking the steps outlined by SBCIS at http://help.sbcglobal.net/article.php?item=4640 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To me, it's either upgrade to static IP, or go on migrating to other mail programs.... but we have so much email on CE that we can literally find anything from the last 10 years on email. Our email database files are (as of today): - Mail Database 481.1MB - Mail Index 85.4MB (and we'd just rebuild the database last week, hope to reduce the file size and see if it will help on the email fetching situation). Changes are good ? Thanks again to all for all your help and comments and suggestion, and feedback. Have a wonderful weekend!
