Hi Helena. That is an odd problem for sure, and have never had that happen to me before. The only thing I could suggest is to delete your mail accounts and reconfigure them. I know it'll be a pain in the a** to do that, but that's all I can suggest at this point. Hopefully others will chime in about this. Let us know if that fixes your problem.
