in fact, being forwarded (and also retained on the iinet site). I
could find no reason for this, and suspected a bug in iinet's
software. Not feeling strong enough to debug a possible bug at iinet,
I re-arranged my message protocols to get round the problem. Could
Michael be coming up against a problem at iinet, rather than at his
own system?

Hi all. I have a mystifying problem with Mail 2.1.3 on my G5
10.4.11.
I have five email accounts. One of them (namely
ta...@iinet.net.au) has
not been receiving mail since September 18. The other accounts,
with the
same ISP work perfectly well. On my laptop (Leopard) and on my
iPod, all
accounts, including the recalcitrant one, operate with no problems
I have tried every work-around that I can think of, with no
success. The
settings are correct.
I am contemplating the irrevocable step of going back to late
August via
SuperDuper in the (perhaps forlorn) hope that this will work.
Does any one have any ideas?
Hi Michael,
Only this one account is not receiving mail, from the same ISP as
others
that are working perfectly on the G5?
You can send ok from this account?
The settings for this account are exactly the same as the other
accounts?
You have checked the correct Port & SSL is selected?
When you click on "Get Mail" for this account, what happens ... do
you
receive a message?
To see what is happening when you click "Get Mail" choose "Window >
Activity
Viewer (Command-0 [zero])
If you are completely sure every setting in the 'bad' account is
the same as
the other 'good' accounts with the same ISP, the only thing I can
think
'might' be happening, only I cannot see it happening to the same
account
each time :-(
I take it the account is a POP account.
Mail may be exceeding a limit on the number of simultaneous
connections set
by your mail server.
This occurs most often when you check your email using more than
one client,
or on more than one machine at a time—though under some
circumstances, Mail
may attempt to open a second connection to a mail server before
closing an
earlier one.
IMAP supports multiple simultaneous connections, whereas POP does
not.
Sorry I can't come up with any other suggestion at the moment.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Michael, I find this sometimes with email accounts. I have email
accounts set to download and keep a copy on the server at the same
time. With POP accounts that means it is safe to delete that account
on a particular machine where it is not working, without deleting all
my past emails. I find that if you set up the account as a brand new
one it will usually work. It appears to be a bug within Mail rather
than iinet. Something about the set up seems to get corrupted on a
particular machine.
But I stress, this can only be safe with POP accounts with Mail set to
leave a copy on the remote server when downloading. I do this so I can
have the same emails on separate machines - similar to an IMAP account.
cheers, Susan.
