Hallo Tim, On Wed, 26 May 2010 18:21:35 -0700GMT (27-5-2010, 3:21 , where I live), you wrote:

Over here my messages disappear almost instantaneously. The best way to find the problem would be to check the logs. Either TB's log or your server's log. I don't know whether you've got access to the latter (most people don't), but you can enable protocol logging for an account, send a message and check the log. You can enable protocol logging via the menu: Account -> Properties -> expand the 'Transport' tree -> Protocol logging -> enable logging for the sending protocol I've done that myself and for a single test message I'm getting this: ,----- [ ] | [10:21:31] C: Connected to mail.otten.tv, port *** | [10:21:31] S: 220 otten.tv Ready for action (Mailtraq 2.16.0.2848/ESMTP) | [10:21:32] C: EHLO [192.168.1.12] | [10:21:32] S: 250-otten.tv | [10:21:32] S: 250-XFROMIP | [10:21:32] S: 250-SIZE | [10:21:32] S: 250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 | [10:21:32] S: 250 AUTH=LOGIN | [10:21:32] C: AUTH CRAM-MD5 | [10:21:32] S: 334 ******************************* | [10:21:32] C: **************************************************** | [10:21:32] S: 235 OK authenticated | [10:21:32] C: MAIL FROM:<*************> SIZE=465 | [10:21:32] S: 250 receiving from ************* | [10:21:32] C: RCPT TO:<*************> | [10:21:32] S: 250 will send to ************* | [10:21:32] C: DATA | [10:21:32] S: 354 send the message, terminate with "." | [10:21:32] C: Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 10:21:31 +0200 | [10:21:32] C: From: Roelof Otten <*************> | [10:21:32] C: Organization: E-mailaholics International | [10:21:32] C: X-Priority: 3 (Normal) | [10:21:32] C: Message-ID: <999769558.20100527102...@otten.tv> | [10:21:32] C: To: Roelof Otten <*************> | [10:21:32] C: Subject: tijd meten | [10:21:32] C: MIME-Version: 1.0 | [10:21:32] C: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 | [10:21:32] C: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable | [10:21:32] C: | [10:21:32] C: Hallo Roelof,=20 | [10:21:32] C: | [10:21:32] C: Even de tijd meten. | [10:21:32] C: | [10:21:32] C: --=20 | [10:21:32] C: Groetjes, Roelof | [10:21:32] C: http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ | [10:21:32] C: | [10:21:32] C: . | [10:21:32] C: {470 bytes sent} | [10:21:32] S: 250 received the message, thanks | [10:21:32] C: RSET | [10:21:32] S: 250 clearing sender and recipient list, go ahead | [10:21:32] C: QUIT | [10:21:32] S: 221 have a nice day (SMTP Closing) `----- I made some things unreadable with asterisks. As you see, the full message is included in the log, that's why you shouldn't keep this setting enabled for a long time, the protocol logs aren't trimmed automatically, so they might grow a lot. Best way is to enable it, send a message, disable the logging again. If you don't see anything odd in the log, you could post it here, but keep in mind that everything that's transmitted between server and client will be included, so you'd better garble passwords and addresses before posting it on a public log.
