The problem occurs intermittently for us - it can come and go at any time of the day. A reboot of the client machine always fixes the immediate problem, though, which is slightly odd, although it may be that the server corrects itself in the time it takes to restart. All I know is that it's very frustrating when I have lots of programs and files open and a restart would be annoying.
Are login attempts logged in MailEnable somewhere? Would be useful to see what the server is doing when the request comes in (and fails).

I have found another post on the forums talking about this issue.
http://forum.mailenable.com/viewtopic.php?t=12716
The replies talk about allowing more than one concurrent connection at a time. That got me thinking and I talked to my clients who are having this issue.
They have cell phones checking their mail at the same time. So I am wondering if this may be the problem. I am waiting on a test from my client to disable his cell phone and see if the problem goes away.
If it does im going to allow multiple connections and see if thats the problem.
I will update you guys when I find out.

Interesting... I too have several clients with cell phones that checking via imap, but when my server was doing this none of the mail boxes could connect. Even if I tried to connect to my personal mailbox on the server with outlook or outlook express it would not allow, but if I connected through the webmail interface everthing worked just fine.
I got an offical reponse from mail enable about the issue.
So it looks like if this is my issue the only way to fix it is to buy the pro releae?Hi,
This error means that the mailbox has a block file created because a client is logged into the mailbox already as the POP service only allows one connection at a time in normal operation although there is a feature in Pro and Enterprise releases of MailEnable that over comes this.
Please upgrade to the latest release of MailEnable Standard and see if this overcomes any issues there may be with this locking mechanism. If the problem exists you will either have to look into possible client problems where it is not disconnecting correctly which can be the case due to a faulty AV proxy or maybe the mailbox does have two clients trying to login.
Failing this the only way I can suggest this can be overcome is through the advanced products which have the feature to allow multiple POP logins.
Regards,
Ben Malcolm

We're using Pro and still experience this problem. I'm pretty sure the email accounts are not being used by more than one person at the same time, so there must be issues with Outlook not disconnecting properly.loonatik wrote:So it looks like if this is my issue the only way to fix it is to buy the pro releae?

If you are running Professional version 2 then you can enable the concurrent mailbox access feature in the POP properties.

No not that I have seen, in theory there can be issues if two separate clients are trying to download the messages at one time. Obviously one client will throw errors due to the LIST saying there are messages but then when the client tries to download them it is not able to download them. I recommend that if you really do need multiple client access then it is best to use IMAP as this is designed for this scenario where as POP is a single client connection per mailbox service.
