Hello Januk,
I don't think that could be it, because I've got 8 or 9 separate
accounts set up - some of them that don't get more than 2 or 3
messages a day - and if the logs work the way it appears, each account
has a separate log file. As near as I can tell, *all* of the accounts
stop downloading at the same time - even those that only get messages
infrequently.
What is the purpose of the log files, anyway, and can I shut them off?
I don't use them and don't see any real use for them in the future.
I have upped the logfile limit on my main account that is very large,
but I don't think that will solve it. Maybe (it'd be nice if it were
that simple).
Thanks,
Jason
