The connection to the server "X" on port 143 timed out.
and Mail 4.2 .
I'm using Mail from my work connexion and it is running without problem.
Today I use it from home connexion and Mail doesn't synchronize any of
my E-mail accounts. I get the following error message:<pre>The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.free.fr” on port 143 timed out.</pre>
I tested the said server (from a Terminal window):<pre>telnet imap.free.fr 143
Trying 212.27.48.2...
Connected to imap.free.fr.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 X-NETSCAPE LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN] IMAP4rev1 Free</pre>
and it is replying perfectly correctly.
I also tested my accounts synchronization with Thunderbird (of course
with the same home connexion), and it is working without a trouble.
Hence there isn't any problem with my Mac, my connexion, my imap server,
my account.
But something is deeply corrupted within Mail.
How may I analyze this serious bug (the application is totally unusable)?
How may I turn Mail in a debug mode to provide any kind of trace so as to
make a usable bug report?
