I don't think the problem is as simple as this. Why?

When I had the problem, a restart of TB! would *always* result in a
successful mailcheck. When it stopped checking for mail, it would
stop and never successfully check again until I restarted TB!.

My connection problems were later not confined to TB! but my
internet connection in general. I'd be connected to my ISP but
nothing would be happening. Only an OS reboot would fix this, ...
all the time.

When I installed uninstalled ZA and installed TPF, I created 2 rules
for TB!. One to allow connections to the remote machine's port 25
and another for remote port 110, with both connecting at a single IP
(not a hostname who's IP may vary). I never had problems again.

The changing IP may be one factor but I doubt that it's the only
one.

Be that as it may, I don't think ZA is to blame for the frequently
reported problems with auto-mail checking. Especially since a clean
install of TB! fixes the problem. This seems to point to a TB!
problem.
