#1 No retry after SMTP error

[Anonymous]

Great program!
It would be very sad if you stop its development.

I have POPtm version 1.3.3 that is configured to receive mail and send it to Exchange server. There is one minor bug report.

Sometimes, probably when my old Exchange 5.5 mail server is busy for the moment, POPtm SMTP process report error. After that, it does not try again. New mail is still downloaded, but not written any more. There are no Exchange errors in event viewer at that time. This is POPtm events log:

[23/04/2009 14:11:16] POP3 account "Mail_Provider" : 5 emails
[23/04/2009 14:11:25] SMTP writer : 3 emails.
[23/04/2009 14:11:34] SMTP writer : 2 emails.
[23/04/2009 14:21:33] POP3 account "Mail_Provider" : 7 emails

[23/04/2009 14:34:19] POP3 account "Mail_Provider" : 7 emails
[23/04/2009 14:44:30] POP3 account "Mail_Provider" : 3 emails
[23/04/2009 14:55:07] POP3 account "Mail_Provider" : 2 emails
[23/04/2009 15:05:11] POP3 account "Mail_Provider" : 4 emails
[ ........

After this, when I finally become aware that there was no new mail for quite some time, I have to reset computer with POPtm. This is POPtm events log at shutdown and restart time.

[24/04/2009 10:36:54] POP3 account "Mail_Provider" : 2 emails

Is there something that can be done?
