A potential fix for Mail.app and IMAP problems
I've never had this issue, and the way I access my imap server may be the reason why.
At home, I've got all my mail going into a linux server running courier-imap. When home, I access the imap server over the LAN and all is happy. When away from home, I use ssh to tunnel my imap traffic to the machine at home. In this configuration, I've never experienced problems with too many connections to my imap server, and have the added bonus of a secured and compressed connection -- which really helps on low bandwidth connections. For what it's worth, to tunnel your connection, you can do the following:
Then just set mail to use localhost as your incoming mail server, and in the advanced section, set it to use port 8143. Save your changes, and you should be all set.
note that you'll need to keep your ssh session running in a terminal window in order to keep the "tunnel" active.
A potential fix for Mail.app and IMAP problems
I have 22 email accounts with my Macintosh Mail. I have an E-Mac and am running OS X 10.3.2 Panther. I am having problems with seding mail. The program interupts me constantly when I try to send mail by asking me if I want to try another SMTP server. I get a series of error messages. It is not uncommon for me to have 30 pieces of mail stuck in the outbox that I wanted to send immediately. This is a real time waster. I receive more than 1000 pieces of e-mail per day with this program. |
