I've noticed something odd since upgrading to 1.1.3 last week. I was on 1.1.1 before that...

When mail is checked, either automatically, or manually, for a brief period (1 or so min), I am unable to check my email with Apple mail, or PopMonitor (a mail checking app I use). I get incorrect password errors. It seems the iPhone is somehow locking out all other pop connections out while it does its thing.

This is especially annoying if I am not using the phone, but have it in my coat or a bag, and try to check my mail on a computer. I get the password error. Then I pull out my iPhone, and sure enough, it has just checked my mail.

It seems like it must have something to do with 1.1.3 because if I wait until mail check works again on my desktop computer, I can check my mail with either Mail or PopMonitor, as many times as I want, switching back and forth between them, and even check mail on my PowerBook. I suppose it could be a change with my ISP (Roadrunner).

Anyone else getting this?
