Hello, My email provider provides an unlimted number of email boxes. I currently need to setup 24 for myself. I am having trouble retrieving mail from all my accounts at once (i.e. by using the "Tools -> Check Mail for All" command). The problem seems to be caused by the fact that my email provider only allows 4 simultaneous connection to their email server from the same IP. I've tested this out by using the /CHECK command in scripts and can produce this problem consistently when I check more than 4 accounts at a time. What happens during these tests are that, the first 4 accounts will connect and retrieve all mails successfully. However, subsequent accounts would seem to "get stuck", causing the Connection Center to hang indefinitely. I would then need to terminate the Connection Center by pressing the abort button. Note that this error occurs whether I am connecting to an IMAP or a POP3 server. I've also tried using multiple /CHECK commands in my script by specifying 4 accounts at a time but it did not make any difference. Currently, the only thing I can do is check each account separately via mouseclicks or the F2 hotkey. Needless to say, this is very inconvenient considering the number of accounts that I have.
Interestingly, I've tried this with the Pegasus email client (v4.11) and had no problems. Not sure why this is the case. Perhaps it connects to and then disconnects from the server each time an account is checked? Any suggestions to overcome this problem will be greatly appreciated. BTW, my email providing uses qmail on Linux. -- Best regards, choppystride mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! v1.62q Windows XP Pro v5.1 bld 2600 (Service Pack 1) ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
