I have this problem too sometimes. It seems to me that the problem is on your mailserver. You probably check your mail every minute or so? I have two pop-accounts on the same server, which I checked every minute, and the server blocked my requests sometimes (prolly to many requests in short period) > Is there anything I can do to get rid of this message?

I have increased the checking time between pop-accounts. Also I made sure that both checking times where different. The one account is on 3 minutes, the other on 4. This way they don't check at the same time often. Of course for you it's enough to just increase one ;-) This solved my problem, I get the messages much less now, once or twice in day maybe, I can live with that :-) > > Outlook clients on my network fetch mail in the same way, but without > any warnings/error-messages ;) That's because outlook doesn't pop-up error messages. If you watch closely the status bar on the bottom you'll probably see that sometimes there appears a red cross, indicating that there was an error... -- Regards, Mathy Vanvoorden _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
