Ok, updates:
1. I shut down Armor All or whatever it's called. I thought that solved the freezing problem & it sort of did, but then now my windows explorer just crashed again. You know that Dr. Watson error message people get?
That's the 2nd time today this has happened
2. The other day my hosting company AGAIN blocked my IP address & this time they said it was my FTP accessing their server too many times. Gawd I wish I could just move from this hosting company already.
Once again I was not at my computer & while I had had my FTP software open earlier that the day before, I had shut it down & had even rebooted, so that is nuts.
3. Today they blocked me again saying my POP was accessing their server too many times.
Once again months have gone by with NO problems & suddenly it started happening again. This again proves to me it's NOT my Thunderbird doing anything b/c if it was a TB issue, it would happen every single day & I'd be blocked every single day.
BUT I did what you guys told me to do & changed the "download e-mails every X minutes" to different times.
4-5 e-mails on 5 minutes, some on 4, 6, 7, 9, etc.
If that doesn't solve the problem then I know I was right & we still have to figure out how to solve the problem. I'd love to move to another hoster & see if the problem occurs there. This is a serious problem, especially now that they are saying it was an FTP problem 2 days ago.
Thanks
