I'm not sure - I think at around 7pm GMT and the rest came in the 5 minutes after that.

Stupid of me to delete all of them - I could have told you exactly... sorry!

EDIT: I just opened the Entourage error-message log and it shows that quite often during the day the connection with your server doesn't work (I don't receive any macosx.com emails). This has nothing to do with the laptop being in sleep-mode, as all other accounts seem to work and don't have any error messages.

I just got 10 emails of the same subject at January 21, 2008 3:42:19 AM CST.

It was a notification of a user response in Tech Area. In checking the post, there was only one reply - which means the server had a burp or ???

And I don't get any of the board notifications since Dec 31.

This is happening again.... at the moment i am receiving 1200+ emails from macosx.com regarding tickets, forum notifications and various reminders.

The first email came at 9:30 (GMT+1) today and is dated back to around September 1st 2007 or a little earlier.

Please fix this Scott!

Thanks!!

Ferdinand

I have no record of any emails coming from the server, and there is no way we'd be able to just send out emails from 2007. No one else has issues with this, but you.

I just read that and it sounded harsh, I didn't mean it to be that way. I'm just saying that it just seems kind of odd.

I know it seems very odd - and thats why I asked whats wrong.

I also noticed that all these emails came to my macosx.com email address - maybe there is some mistake with your mail server, because I also received other old emails, not from macosx.com directly, dated back to 2007 to my macosx.com address which is fhascha(at)macosx.com .

That makes a lot more sense with the added information that your getting OTHER old email. Sounds like to me your mail program is not purging your emails and either through the use of a different email application to check your email or something of that nature, it is resetting your queue and your downloading them all again. I assume your using POP and not IMAP.
