Hello scicero. You have a backlog of about 180 messages on a server that you can not download. How do you know this or how can you confirm this number? This server...is it your ISP's mail server or some other server? Also, as you say it seems to have stopped since Saturday, has anything changed with your mail server settings since then? Are you sure? If you are able to log into this server to check your messages, maybe through a webmail environment, and can confirm that the messages are there and waiting, you may need to contact the support for the owners of that server, if it belongs to your ISP, and ask them about their mail settings and if any of them have changed since Saturday. This may be one possible reason why you can not download your messages. Hopefully this was helpful and hopefully you will be able to download your messages soon enough. Will
