Just tried a different user and had the same problem.
I can get to command line just fine, so if you can think of any utils I should try, I can give that a go.

oh yes, I have seen it go wonky also, like you are connected, go to Sys Prefs and change monitor resolution. However usually with that I can close the window, click the “Take Control” icon and all is well. With this, it’s weird in that it only shows up after logging in – however I guess that does point to a user preference that is wonky. I am installing a package right now on that machine, but when it is done I will try a different user.

thank you for replying

we have one monitor down there that we use if we are actually down at the data center. At the moment I do not know for sure which of my servers the monitor is plugged into (KVM switch died so we just move the plug around).

sorry for the late reply. Since I last posted, I have it working fine and have not had any issues with Mac Mail, so I think I am good now.

But in case someone else has similar issue show up: All accounts are POP3. I am using Post.Office to handle email. It stores all messages in a single file on the server along with a cache file (though I think this is primarily for squirrelmail). So all I really have to do is check the date on the message file and remove it if it is older than my threshold. Then I just clear the cache file (since it’ll be rebuilt the next time the account is accessed) and it seems to work great.
