Webmail issues...

Scott,

I sometimes get the following message when trying to access Webmail feature:

An error accoured while connecting to your POP3 server!

I have checked the POP3 server for mail.bellsouth.net and everything works fine when I get this message as long as I don't try to access from Webmail feature.

I thought at first Bellsouth was blocking the port but that doesn't seem to be it because sometimes it works perfectly.

It probably wouldn't be that big of deal if I didn't like the Webmail feature so much.

I have been recieving it all day today.

Any ideas?

Hmm no idea. I just tried it from the server and its working so I have no ideas at the moment.

# telnet mail.bellsouth.net pop3
Trying 205.152.59.16...
Connected to mail.bellsouth.net.

From what I can tell, it works fine as long as I save login info as a cookie. But if I try to have it store my login info in the database it doens't work.

I received the following today when trying to access. Notice how I have negative amounts of email.

Thats with the cookie or without?

That was with the cookie.

I got it to pull up fine about 15 minutes ago, now it is giving me the same POP3 error again.

I have tried on three different computers in the last few minutes and all are giving me the same error.

Thanks for looking at this.
