Can still send mail but suddenly can't receive mail

When Pegasus Mail is in Offline mode it will not receive and sends will be queued.  If this is what you experienced then now know why.  As for how, AFAIK there are only two ways.  One is via File > "Enter offline mode" and the other is by clicking the Online/Offline icon located at the bottom right of the main window.  The icon looks like a junction point when online and is greyed out with red "X" superimposed when offline.  A restart from offline mode will be online.

Hi all,

Last night Pmail 4.70 build 546 seemed  to work fine when I shut down for the night.  The last message I received (a cc from one of my other email accounts) arrived at 21:53.  I was up later but figured no mail had been sent to me.

This morning I received nothing - which was a bit strange - but I didn't think much about it until I checked again later on and still nothing.  So, I sent myself a message from gmail and it never arrived.  Finally, I logged into my primary pop account and discovered lots of messages waiting to be downloaded.

Next, I tried sending a message.  That works great!   Then I rearranged the order of which POP3 mailboxes were downloaded first, but that didn't help.  I tried initiating download from the menus instead of the icons but no luck.  Whatever I do, Pmail simply doesn't respond.  Even when there is outgoing mail (which I have set to go first), the outgoing part happens fine and then Pmail just stops - full stop.

My suspicion is that there is a flag in one of the files that has been accidentally set that tells Pmail not to check for outgoing mail.  However I have no idea where to look for such a flag.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks,

Craig

PS. Oops.  Now I can't even SEND mail.  I guess my next step is to restart Pmail.

A restart seemed to solve the problem.  HOWEVER, I still suspect that the problem was a flag that got set and would like to know what that flag is.  Clearly, the restart reset that flag, whatever it was, but I do not like to restart programs if I can avoid doing so.  CAN ANYONE SUGGEST WHAT THAT FLAG MIGHT BE?
