I have an intermittent problem with my broadband connection that makes that happen for one of my email accounts. It connects and sits there trying to communicate but never displays how many messages there and ultimately disconnects with the same log entries as you get. Another of my email accounts gets further, telling me how many messages there are and saying it is dowmloading the first one - it never manages and the log entry ends with (last commands sent were: "UIDL", "RETR 21"). The number isn't always 21 but remains constant until the connection is working properly and I successfully download my messages. In my case, it is not a server problem as the servers both give up their messages if I telnet into them. They also both work via services like www.mail2web.com. My ISP fell out with their wholesale provider. The ensuing fallout has required me to phone them several times in recent weeks and receive different temporary usernames/passwords to type into my router. For the last 8 or 9 days I have had the issues described above. I have found that rebooting my router and trying again repeatedly, eventually leads to it working for the next 1-3 days. When the issue strikes me, there is also a problem accessing certain websites - usually they just keep "loading" for 20-25 minutes then Firefox indicates they have loaded (when the page is still blank). -- Best regards, MFPA Don't cry because it is over - smile because it happened Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
