Good morning,
Some customers have a random error code 8 (message/headers retrieving failed), i'm trying to identify the problem since some weeks without success !
In the Mailbee log we have a [Connection closed due to network error or timeout]
Any idea ?

Could you please provide us with a part of your log file which includes one POP3 session from connecting to the server to [Connection closed due to network error or timeout] error?
If the log contains a private information, please use Request Support form.
Best regards,
Andrew

Thank you for the log file. The time difference between the following records:
Code:
| 10:30:29 [The message is ready] |
|
|
and:
Code:
10:31:03 [Sending DELE: DELE 2\r\n]
10:31:03 [Sending retr/top command: RETR 3\r\n]
10:31:03 [Connection closed due network error or timeout.] |

is more than 30 seconds and the connection is closed by the POP3 server due to a timeout. In other words, your application doesn't send any commands to the POP3 server during 30 seconds and the POP3 server treats your application as hung and closes the connection.
To workaround this, your application should periodically ping the POP3 server, so it'll know your application is still alive.
Best regards,
Andrew

This is a server-side timeout and it's not possible to change it in your application. The only way is to change it in the mail server configuration.
Best regards,
Andrew

The workaround seems to let the timeout be set even better now. And ping doesn't seem to get in the way too much. Helpful thread here!
