Hi Eric,

the translation from the spanish message is:


There has been a problem trying to connect to server "old computer".

It may be that the server does not exist or that it is not available at this moment. Check the name or the IP address of the server, check the network connection and try again.


It seems that the problem is related to the synchronization of the applications Mail and Calendar. The message appears afew seconds after opening and closing Calendar. I have the following log in Console:
