Logs don't tell me anything worth knowing, even after ticking all the
boxes (this was a disappointment as the previous version kept quite
decent logs - perhaps I've just not set it up right?):

RunEvery is set to 5 minutes.
When the application is first launched it logs into each mailbox in
turn, looks at the headers, downloads the files (they all default as I
have no "accept" rules), stores them in the correct place (I only have
"download file" set, with "diversion file" and "defaulted file" blank)
and deletes them from the server.
The next time it runs, if there is fresh mail waiting, you can see it
reading the headers but it *doesn't* download the files, store them nor
delete them.
OnlyIf is not set.
Thanks for the prompt reply though :-)
Hwyl!
