Hi,
This has been discussed before. You might want to search the archives. I
personally have seen this issue on Versions 8.15 and older versions under
two conditions:
1. The user has their Outlook/Outlook Express set to check email every
minute or every three minutes. Then they get a large download with a lot
of
files, the total of which requires longer to download than the check email
cycle. Before they can finish downloading, OE checks for new email. Since
the first cycle has not completed, the emails that have been downloaded
have
not been marked as read, which only happens when all emails have been
read.
After the second cycle has started, the whole thing snowballs even deeper.
In this case, have the user set their check for new mail cycle time to a
reasonable value. Note that I have seen this issue with users on a 256KB
T1
with large downloads and a check cycle of one minute.
2. The WebMail service is hosed. Stop and restart the WebMail service. If
the problem is not item 1 above, then stopping and starting the WebMail
service usually fixes the problem. Don't ask me what the WebMail service
has
to do with POP3. I do not know, but it works. To understand that, you
would
have to ask Ipswitch.
Note that I am currently running 8.22 and that I have not seen this issue
since upgrading to 8.22. That doesn't mean that I won't see it in the
future. On the otherhand, I did not see it all that often on 8.15.

This problem started for us with v8.2. So far it
has only been a problem with the clients that use
Eudora. It got a little better with Eudora by
changing the number of threads but still comes around from time to time.
We haven't seen it with any of our Outlook or Outlook Express.
I can't say that it was caused by huge emails or
disconnects since one of the people that has the
issue is me using Eudora at my home. I attach
large files regularly and only had the disconnect
on the upload not the download side. I've tried
many different things and the only one that seems
to help is keeping the inbox empty.
I tend to believe the problem is in Imail's pop, not the clients.

I would say it is not a mal-formed email, just a
huge one from my experience. It is usually a
dial-up account in my experience though.

So you believe it was a specific mal-formed
email? I spoke with tech support, and after
analyzing the pop3 log they said it looked like
the connection was getting terminated via the
firewall or other non-imail mechanism. I know
its not hardware, cables, etc. I have seen the
problem stop at all sorts of different emails, not always a specific one.

We have seen the same thing across our network.
Most of the time we have been able to log in by
webmail, delete the offending message, and rock
on with Outlook. (Yes, it usually is some stupid
joke email.) Once when that didn't work, we had to delete the inbox.

No, this is actually on the internal network so
there's no performance delay at all. Often its
when there are large quantities of emails to
download, and it hangs up part way through
it. Then when you retry, it does it again and never deletes the messages.

Yep, I have seen this multiple times on a
dial-up connection. Too many people sending huge joke emails anymore.

sounds like they're on dialup and got a large
message that isn't downloading fast enough?

Been on iMail for many years, and lately I've
got a number of users who's messages download
over and over. It seems to be a problem with
Outlook or Outlook Express timing out somehow,
then redoing the session. But since its on many
more than one machine, and with several email
clients, I believe its something server related.
Are there settings I should adjust to help solve this?
Thanks,
