Q: Can't download new mail messages

Have had this problem a couple of times in the past with my BellSouth account and eventually got it worked out but I'm stumped this time.

 

Incoming mail goes to my iPhone just fine.

 

I can send mail but cannot receive it.

 

Library/preferences/com.apple.plist file does not exist

 

Highlight my BellSouth account in mail and right click / get account info - it shows all the new messages on the server

 

No lightning bolt beside any of the accounts - all are online . Have taken all mail accounts offline and then back online - ng

 

Have done a hard restart and even a SMC reset - nada

 

Running OSX 10.8.3

 

Everything was fine until 5 days ago. Haven't change any settings or added new software but have been having errant shutdowns due to a kernel panic issue...

 

Have checked all relevant forums, tips trick and magic wands - ng

 

Running out of hair to pull out

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
