I had been having this problem sporadically, but it has become a consistent thing since 10.1.3. This may be coincidental--I don't know.
My DSL connection (dynamic) is shared over my wireless network. Whenever the connection has not been used for a bit and Mail.app is the first thing that uses it, it first takes forever to fail to connect, then messes up all of my other internet apps. I actually have to restart! I have tried force quitting Mail, but then my browser still cannot make a connection until I restart. The only thing I've found that resolves this is quitting Mail when I put my computer to sleep, then using the browser before getting my mail. This works, but it's a pain in the ass--and it's not the way things were working.
I am not at all sure, but I am thinking it has something to do with the dynamically assigned IP address. I am thinking maybe Mail.app makes an *odd* request to the server. Truth is, though, I don't have the slightest.
Anyone else having this? Anyone have any guesses at solutions? Is there a way to stop Mail from looking for mail once it has started (some *stop* command)?
Thanks in Advance,
Chris
