590 Too many connections error was updated

    I'm not sure, but the fact that Notes has the connections in a CLOSE_WAIT state might indicate that the Notes app is “leaking” connections. When you have this p...

    Thanks for the email. It was as clean and correct as MailMate had created it. The problem is somehow related to when you Bcc yourself. This is a server bug.
