Downloads email only on startup problem

[quote user="Randy"]

Pegasus will only go out and download email on startup.  No other way seems to be effective.  I am not recieving any errors.  It is set to check every 10 minutes.  We are popping the mail from Exchange Server 2003 using SSL.

Sounds like you are not set to check the POP3 host on a regular basis.  Give us your setting from Tools | Internet Options |  Receiving (POP3).

 Check for new POP3 mail every x seconds


This option controls whether or not Pegasus Mail should poll the hosts in your active POP3 definition list for new mail automatically, and if so, how often. Enter here a number of seconds between poll cycles (Pegasus Mail is accurate to the nearest three seconds), If you check the Idle control next to this, then Pegasus Mail will wait until it has been idle (no keystrokes or mouse presses) for this length of time before it will automatically check for new mail. If the Idle control is unchecked, then checks will occur at regular intervals, regardless of activity. A value of zero means that Pegasus Mail should never poll your POP3 hosts automatically – you will have to initiate the check yourself by choosing "check host for new mail" from the File menu.

Check no more frequently than once every x minutes 

This control allows you to have some of your definitions checked more or less frequently than others. If you enter a non-zero value here, then Pegasus Mail will only check this definition at most once every x minutes, no matter how often you have set your polling period in the Receiving mail via the POP3 protocol  page of the Internet Options dialog. So, if you have a relatively unimportant mailbox somewhere that you only want to check at most once per hour, you would enter 60 here: even if Pegasus Mail is checking your other POP3 definitions every minute, this definition will only be checked once per hour.
