The status of the account depends on a couple of things. if a connection attempt has been made and failed, the account will go off line. restarting mail or poling for messages will often change the status. when you create an account, there is a check box to check if you want the account to go online which is checked by default. If however in the process of creating the account, an error occurs and the process is continued overriding the error condition, the account will not go online because it has been determined that there is an issue with the credentials of the account even if this is the mail server's fault.

I thought my account was on line, because I could receive mail, but I guess not, so any assistance would greatly be appreciated, because it would seem to me that if your account was off line, you wouldn't be able to send or receive mail. Thanks in advance.
