That's a different problem. In this case access to the mailbox is no
problem but some messages cannot be previewed (because they are HTML
only)...

Receiving only messages with a "text/plain" part ;-) Adding support for
"text/html" only messages in gnubiff would help. Unfortunately often
(especially in messages by mail clients that send HTML only) in the
first lines (and gnubiff only scans these) of the HTML message there is
no information at all...

There could be (at least) two explanations: Your server has a limit to
the number of connections in a given period. In this case increasing
the polling interval would help. Sometimes the connection attempts are
simultaneously ans your server cannot handle this. In this case I
cannot provide a solution.
