+ | ==== Multiple POP Downloads ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | By default on Windows, POPFile can only download mail from one POP account at a time. If your client is attempting to get mail from several POP accounts at the same time, connections must wait their turn. Mail clients wait for a while, but sometimes the connections for the later accounts may timeout before POPFile can get to them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the number of accounts you are checking mail for is causing trouble you will need to enable forking. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You may find that turning off the tray icon improves other problems forking may cause. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Forking currently cannot be used with the SSL module, so if you use SSL to connect to any of your accounts you can't use forking. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Other options:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The first option is to drop email addresses you never use or at least don't run them through POPFile. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Another option is to collect all the mail at one (or a few) of your addresses. | ||
