I have 4 IMAP email accounts. 3 work just fine. However one won't connect if I have Mail open. I get an error that it cannot connect. Once I quit Mail it can connect just fine. My notebook seems to work just fine when the Mac Pro is running and Mail is open. Some other tidbits:

-putting system to sleep does not fix the connection issue
-accessing the IMAP account is 90% non functional. I was able to see one new header, but the message said 'not downloaded from the server'
-new iphone, 1.1.4, not jailbroken or anything
-10.5.2

Any ideas? The server admin favors POP3 for email, could he have set up the servers in such a way that limits what I can do with IMAP?
