What does this error message mean?
In Mail, I click 'get mail' on my Dreamhost account and the wheel spins. Nothing comes, even though e-mail is there on the server - visible in Squirrelmail.
It's not Mail or my internet connection. Other accounts download fine from other servers (non-Dreamhost).
It's not the server. The same mail downloads fine via Snow Leopard on my MacBook, with the exact same account details.
*The error message in Console reads "Mail162 -POP3Connection fetchMessages:totalBytes: failed: Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=54 UserInfo=0xd8d8c10 "The attempt to send data to the server “(null)” failed.""*
Sometimes a few messages come, then stop. One message seems to be blocking it. I delete that on the server and more emails come down, until it happens again, very soon.
So it's the interaction between this computer and your server. I have no firewall. I only use the Junk anti-spam in Mail, same as on the MacBook.
This was the case with Leopard, OS X.5. I thought upgrading to Snow Leopard would stop it but it didn't.
What does the error message mean? Any ideas please? I posted this yesterday on the Apple Dsicussion Forum but no one has responded.
