WLM loses connectivity

Anyone else see this? Recently, I'll notice that something has been sitting
in my Outbox for much longer than the 5 minutes I have as an automatic
send/receive interval. I'll click on Send/Receive at the top and up pops a
note that "the Internet is not available, try again?" Hitting Yes will do a
good send and receive, and from then on things seem to work okay... until the
next time, maybe later that day, maybe not.

WLM shares the same LAN Internet connection as IE, and IE works right
through this same time interval without a hitch. Can the link between WLM
and IE be broken somehow?

Re: WLM loses connectivity

Oh, sorry, Winston,

Yes, it's Version 12. Another thing I've noticed: I'm running five
different e-mail accounts on WLM. Every now and then, for some reason not
associated with WLM (probably an ISP thing), WLM cannot access one account.
It comes up with the notice that "...the server terminated the connection...'
or some-such, but then never tries that account again until I go in, open the
send/recieve window, and close the warning box. In the meantime it will poll
the other accounts on the 5-minute-interval schedule, but the one that was
missed will continue to be missed. Shouldn't these warnings be overlooked by
the program on subsequent account log-ins?

Re: WLM loses connectivity

It could be isp related, but the full error message including any error number would help a better diagnosis.
Other causes of termination could be interference with a third party application(AV email scanning, AV program, firewall, malware
scanner, or other programs that filter mail).
