"No Response from Server (timeout)"

[Miner...@live.com]

Seems I'm getting a lot of these error messages when I
manually download emails. I have five email accounts.
Sometimes email is downloaded for some of the accounts, but
not all. Sometimes email for all accounts are downloaded
successfully. It seems random. All settings are correct,
passwords intact. I don't understand why email downloads
would work for some but not all, and not all the time.

Any ideas?

Do you have any anti-malware programs running that intercept the email
connections for filtering purposes? I found that some of them time out
or give faulty connections.

They usually intercept the email client by setting up domain redirects
in the %systemroot%system32/drivers/etc/hosts file and creating a
proxy mail server listening on 127.0.0.1. You would think that it
would be a perfect solution but I think what happens is the proxy
accepts the authentication but when the real server is slow setting up
the connection to the proxy's network side and it times out or
otherwise fails in some way and Agent sees it as a server failure in a
delayed fashion.

I don't have a solution for it but that's my theory.

If you do have mail malware filtration as described, try temporarily
turning it off for a time and see if Agent likes it better.

FWIW, I run Agent barefoot and get occasional server failures without
any proxy involved. It just happens, servers get busy or spammed and
get slow or whatever servers do.

No, I don't have any filtering on my emails. I try and
practice "safe computing" and thus receive a minimal amount
of spam that I throw into Agent's Junk folder for training.

I think that's the most likely scenario. Or, I'm checking
mail manually too often, and it's Agent's way of saying,
"Hey, not so soon!"

Thanks for your response.
