Getting frequent IMAP error messages now

How do I access the notification messages so I can post them here? Because there is like 12 or more a day on each machine from multiple accounts.

I got one that mentions restricting the number of concurrent threads using the IMAP interface but no clue as to how to restrict TB from making multiple requests from multiple accounts to the same server at the same time.

The notifications can probably be found in the Activity Manager (see <Tools | Activity Manager>.) They can be copy-and-pasted from there.

You can also post screen shots of the error messages.

> should also point out that there is multiple accounts on this machine, 2 yahoo, 3 outlook, and 4 gmal, along with about 12 accounts with the business server. Hence there is multiple hits going on at once. Don't care about speed.
