Do you know why this is happening? Please post if you need to see any conf files.

 

Any errors in the logs? Did you send an email to the payments account first?

Did you send an email to the payments account first before you tried to fetch emails?

 

Emails to payments

Nope, no emails got sent except from hotmail as a test which was bounced back.

 

With what error message?
