Hanging Check and Wash Mail (Yahoo)
Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:51 am
For the past three months, with MWP 7.5.0 and a beta (7.4.1?) before that, Check Mail has *sometimes* been hanging, failing to login Yahoo mail (free). If I stop Check Mail, it typically takes a minute, if not longer, to release, i.e., Wash Mail to become active again. Sometimes it's just easier to close and reopen MWP. Which leads to some questions:
1) Is anyone else experiencing this?
2) Why does it take so long for Check Mail to release when stopped?
3) Would it help to put a time limit into Check Mail by account?
This is Win 8.1 x64 Pro and I did a clean reinstall in December. The hanging started a little before that. Thanks,
Update: Just noticed that when I stop Check Mail and press Wash Mail when there is Yahoo mail that is hanging, then Wash Mail runs on and on until it stops, which I assume is some kind of timing out. But if I then close and reopen MWP still with the Yahoo mail, Check Mail runs quickly but Wash Mail hangs.
