Hi all
I'm a new poster so apologies if this doesn't follow the usual format or I'm in the wrong place. I'll try and be brief:
Running Mail 1.3.11 in Mac OS X 10.3.9 I kept getting a message saying that my mail hadn't been downloaded from the server and I would need to take the account online to download the message. I knew this couldn't be right as I was already online (internet access) and the message occured even when I clicked on messages I'd successfully downloaded previously.
I read that this might be due to the size of my inbox - over 5000 messages plus attachments etc, so - in my infinite wisdom (!) - I hit the 'rebuild' menu selection whilst in inbox.
Suddenly - no old inbox. Just a shiny new empty one. Now I can't find any previous messages and I still get the 'unable to download - take account online' message.
I'd like to find my old messages and have access to them and stop this message occuring - can anyone help?
thanks
Jevon
