    I am unable to download messages or send messages with
    gtkmail !

    My parameters are largely the same as t.stoop who
    submitted the previous support request. Is there an
    update on this ?

    Many Thanks

    Chris B-W.

    Send me the contents of your .gtkmailrc file. If everything
    looks okay, I'll have you sniff the network traffic.

    Okay, one more question. Do you have an SMTP server running
    on your localhost? You need this for mail fetching to work
    correctly.

    The SMTP server I am using is Demon's I believe - I haven't
    set one up on my localhost yet. I will look at doing that
    sometime.

    Many Thanks
