Hello A friend of mine has a problem with mail, her mail is forwarded to Virgin.net she opens mail - gets her email, but if she leaves the program open, it doesn't connect to the server when she tries 10 mins later, all she gets is the spinning ball and a message saying the connection to the server has timed out. The only way around this I have found is to quit mail and reopen, this works sometimes, other times she has to restart her laptop, this is starting to annoy her. She can still use internet explorer or safari, her broadband connection is still open. I have just noticed the same thing on my machine last night I left the mail program running and after an hour it was set to collect mail, I noticed my virgin account had a triangle alongside, when I clicked on the triangle it told me the connection had timed out. Only restarting my computer enabled that account. Any ideas? Have Fun Glen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
