Email won't download to SeaMonkey

Post by law452 »

I'm using W7-pro. Version 2.46 of SeaMonkey. This appears to have started after all the updating for the malware attack but can't be sure. When I attempt to download my email to SeaMonkey, I press the GET MSGS. I get the message "Host contacted, sending login information" Hangs for several minutes, then the message just drops off. No error message. No any messages. But no email either. Email is att.net which is (unfortunately) now a Yahoo email.

What security software are you running on that machine?

I'm having the same problem. I'm using W7-pro latest updated version. This appeared on May 5th and nothing I've done seems to work.
I've been using SeaMonkey and the Mail & Newsgroup part for many years. It is solely used to offload my Yahoo email to my desktop.
When I click on "Get Msgs" a message pops up at the bottom "Host contacted, sending login information" which is then followed by a line that
says: "Downloading messages 1 to 445" which hangs there for several minutes and clears with nothing downloaded.

Looking through my Control Panel history of software installs I see that I installed "Private Internet Access (PIA)" on May 5th. I've tried exiting the PIA and that did not fix the problem. I've gone to the Network and Sharing Center / Change Adapter Settings and disabled Local Area Connection 2 (TAP-Windows Adapter V9) {{ which is used by PIA}} and still the Get Msgs does the same as stated above....no help.
No error messages nor is there any message saying why noting happened within the Mail & Newsgroup application.
Email is at yahoo.com.

Log onto that account using a browser and delete the oldest message not yet downloaded to SeaMonkey. Sometimes a message with a malformed header can block its own receipt and that of the messages following it on the server.

Did you use the browser element of SeaMonkey to access the server inbox or some other program?
What security software are you running on the system?

What I should have asked was, can you access the account's web mail page using the browser element of SeaMonkey?

I don't understand how, but now it works.

I've deleted yesterday all mails directly in server and it dosent work.
Today i deactivatet AV and startet over. All mails ar downloaded now in TB
Then i activatet AV and started over again. Now it works with SM too.

I understand, that AV was the problem, but not why it doesnt work as all files are deleted?
Nevertheless, it works now! Many Thanks for help!

Hello,

I too am not able to retrieve my emails from my account on Cox Cable. I was to last night without any problems but not I get the same response as noted above in the thread here when clicking 'Get Msgs'. It logins in says retrieve but doesn't do a thing. The message disappears and it just sits there.

I read the last post but do not know what 'AV' is such in order to see it works for me. I have deleted all emails on my Cox sever but still doesn't work. I went through Google Chrome browser to log into Cox email server to delete the emails.

On my PC I have Windows 7 Home Premium using SeaMonkey 2.46 to retrieve my emails off the Cox email servers.

Thank you in advance for you help.

"AV" stands for anti-virus.
