Hi. Yes, I've tried "Mailbox / take all accounts online". In Preferences/ Accounts / Account Info I can get the drop down menu - but the info for this account has changed and it is altering it that is proving impossible.
It may well be offline because it isn't working - it is the fact that it WAS working until just a few days ago that is getting to me! I'll keep trying - there MUST be a solution!
