 Like many people, I've been experiencing this issue, and I'm sad to say
 that it's still occurring in version 2.1.1  I can tell you honestly that
 it is in no way caused by my anti-virus, a firewall, or the dog sitting in
 the room.

 You seem to keep ignoring the issue, blaming things like those mentioned
 above, barring the presence of a pet.  I know for a fact that It works
 some times, and not others, on what appears to be a whim.  This specific
 problem is not security software caused either.

 I've also tried a previously mentioned "fix" that claims simply changing
 "login.oscar.aol.com" to "login.messaging.aol.com" will work, but it does
 not.

 The only other ticket I've found that has anything to do with this is
 #2485, but it's been abandoned for a month now.  Thank you for taking the
 time to read this, and I hope you don't just tell me to check my firewall
 and security software.  This problem is not caused by their presence or
 absence.

 Thank you.
