All 3 of my computers started doing this yesterday morning. Prior to this, all were OK.

I get the following error messages: The current operation on Inbox did not succeed. The mail server for your account @windstream.net responded: Unrecognized command ID.

The other error message is: The current operation on sent did not succeed. The mail server for your account @windstream.net responded: Unrecognized command ID

It all depends on which folder my cursor is on.

I created a new sent folder in local folders and changed settings to save a copy there.. Now all operation is ok however, I still get the error messages.

Please include the following images

This problem seems too occur only with the email server windstream.net and not on my gmail account.

Make sure to update your e-mail server settings to match these as either they changed there security settings or they are just having problems with the email:

   Account Type: IMAP
   Username: Your email address is your username
   Server hostname: imap.windstream.net
   Server port: 993

All my settings are correct so either they changed there security settings or they are just having problems with the email:

Maybe they have regressed to POP3 standard

Thank you for your help.
