I looked in the network control panel, the modem isn't listed. Wireless signal is good, at least 75% or better. My PC makes a full 100mbs connection from the same spot. On "how it's copying messages locally", I have "All" selected. Should I have someting different? > What are your ping times to your imap server? 11ms In the Mail preferences, on "Automatically Sync changed mailboxes" I have that checked, is that the best setting? Do I need to fill in the IMAP Prefix Path? It was blank when I first loaded mail and it finds my mailbox and downloads all the headers. I've tried it checked and unchecked both, but it's made no difference. It's not an access problem because it finds my mailbox and downloads all of my folders and email headers. In the status bar at the top of my Mail program it says "getting message header from sever" and "getting message body from server" along with several other messages like the count while it's grabbing headers, etc. So for some reason, it's just not getting the body and is saying the account is offline when it isn't. I'm stumped. My Inbox Express worked perfectly....although slowly. I REALLY need to get this working as it will be my main machine during the day. I've downloaded all of the software updates and it made no difference. Rad... -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
