How do I solve the following error messages: "The current operation on 'inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account dvandusen1@windstream.net responded: Unrecognized command: ID." and "The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account dvandusen1@windstream.net responded: Missing or malformed literal in APPEND."

These error messages occur when I check for new mail and when I try to send an email.

My understanding is windstream are migrating their mail service to an outside company and it is not going well. Perhaps you as a customer could contact then and report back exactly what is going on with their email.
