I found that there was a way of allowing it to use more concurrent IMAP connections. Still the it's under Account Settings and then Advanced. Worth trying as it may help. Regards -- Clive Page |

You might also want to try reducing rather than increasing it. Some email servers will only allow a certain number of concurrent connections from the same IP... TB might be trying to open more than the server allows. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

He is talking email not news.
If its Virgins server then there are some interesting weirdnesses going on of late. For example you log in but it says it disconnected unexpectedly. try again and it sweetness and light. also smtp seems to have a very aggressive spam detector not echoes by imap or pop3 on delivery, so for example you get an email from a list, say with films on it, you try to forward it to a friend and it won't send via Virgin as it says the message is either too big or contains spam markers. Send the same message via gmail and there is no issue at all. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...
