This last week I have been having trouble with downloading mail from Earthlink.
When downloading it stops at one of the Emails and won't continue to download. So
I do a forcequit and reload Claris. When I come to download it downloads
all of the incoming mail. In addition it is repeating mail that I received
previously and for the past few days continues to download this same mail.
My first step was to delete all the mail I didn't want or had
received before - but it keeps coming. My first effort was to go to the
Earlthlink web site and delete there, but it still keeps coming; my
second effort was to call Earthlink and get them to check their web site
and delete from their end...it still keeps coming. I asked why when
downloading it keeps stopping at one of the Emails and could this be a
virus - and they said possibly. But they got rid of those Emails...and
it still keeps coming.
Today I went to both laptops and made sure that they were equally
deleted and that the settings were correct and made sure that both
retained mail for '0' days - but still it keeps coming!
I am beginning to wonder whether it is wise to use system X and
whether that is what is messing things up?
Any clues?
I haven't used Emailer for a few years, and can't check this out
personally, but I'm wondering why you have checked of the option to
keep mail on the server? Instead of checking off that option and
setting it a zero days, uncheck it entirely. Maybe if you don't tell
Emailer to keep mail on the server, it won't. Perhaps zero is the same
as infinity in terms of retaining mail on the server. Perhaps Emailer
assumes you wouldn't check off that box unless you meant to have the
mail retained for a certain number of days. Make that change, then let
us know if the problem is resolved. One thing is certain, you can blame
OS X for many MANY things, but not this one.
