  I just fixed it, so download 204 :-)

I found the same bug about a half-hour ago.  These things always crop up 
on your first real test after you've shut down development for the day ;-)

Hey All -


Just pulled 204 and reconfigured to POP from earthlink's POP servers.

No joy.  Eventually I get a connection timeout on both POP get and SMTP
port 587 send.  This was working on 1.1

Bold 9700 v5.0.0.602

Anything else I can get you?

Re: [Logicmail-users] Performance improvements and caution (build 203)

[Derek K. <dko...@lo...>]

  My first course of action would be to log the actual network 
connection to the device's event logger:
https://www.logicprobe.org/proj/logicmail/wiki/debugging

(P.S. There are about half a million posts between the mailing lists, 
forums, etc, all mentioning things relating to that...  Including one 
about various logger items you can use to see what the BB itself is 
doing to open the connection.)

Then, actually read the log messages.  (they're not a pile of binary 
gobbledegook, even though many users want to treat them like that)

If the problem is in actually opening the connection, the "net.rim.tcp" 
(I think) loggers could help.  But generally, the basic "open a 
connection" is the most common (and hardest for me to be able to help 
with) of all BB issues.

If the problem is during the login process itself, the network 
connection logs (as mentioned above) should help in debugging it.
