I just received an error from my e-mail client (output from response by e-mail server) that I had exceeded the maximum number of connections for the hour.

Since I am paying for a certain amout of throughput per month, how is it your services right to tell me how many connections I can make per hour. If I want to check my e-mail every 10 seconds (not that I would) shouldn't I be allowed?

Can someone please provide some insight into this?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Could you paste the message you received from your email client?

The amount of connections per an hour is a throttle put in place to keep the server from crashing. If every email account was trying to check the server every 10 seconds, it wouldn't work very well. Just wait a few minutes if that happens and you will be allowed back on.

Thanks Patrick.......I figured as much. It only happens when I'm checking my mail on BOTH of my computers anyway. I just found it interesting. In my several years in the web hosting business, I've never had a need to throttle connections.

Thanks again,
Steve
