I bought a Dell 660S about a year ago, all has been well with email since, no problems. Then about 2-3 weeks ago, this very frustrating cycle of issues started happening with WLM.

When I get home at night to check my mail, I start WML and then after 1 minute I get a pop up window that says, basically, my server has not responded and do I wish to wait another 60 seconds or stop the operation. There is no error code.

When I click wait, it will pause 1 minute and this cycle will continue indefinitely.

If I click stop but wait a few minutes then go back and click "Send & Receive" I get a separate pop up window that asks for my user name and password from my mail provider (who is Internet America). I enter my user name and p/w, but as soon as I do and hit enter, it pops right back up and asks the same darn question, no matter how many times I do it (I am entering the absolute correct info).

I usually have to go to Internet America's webmail site and check my email, which is a big pain, and then empty all my pending mail. Once it is clear and there is no more, my email magically starts working.

On the few occasions it does work, I keep getting the same emails over and over. When I look at them on the IA server, there is only one email, but WLM will download it three or four times.

My wife has a separate log in on the same machine, same WLM program, but has none of these problems. I called Internet America twice, spent over and hour with them on the phone last night, and they swear it's not their server, that what they see is simply my email in the server inbox, and when my machine checks it, it's gone. They have no issues. The IT guy said that he thought it was on my end. I tend to agree since my wife's email works fine with same program, same internet email provider and she has no issues.

I've never had these kind of buggy problems with WLM, but it's getting very frustrating. Sometimes when it gets caught in one of these loops I have to restart my machine. Doing that every third time or so I want to check my mail is getting weary.
