If you have multiple status monitor icons in the task tray, this does not mean that VPOP3 is running several times, just that the VPOP3 Status Monitor has been started several times. Sometimes this can happen if it has been added to the 'All Users' Startup group as well as your personal Startup group in Windows. | If you have multiple status monitor icons in the task tray, this does not mean that VPOP3 is running several times, just that the VPOP3 Status Monitor has been started several times.

+ | =====Missing data===== | ||
+ | If the status monitor is not showing all the data you'd expect, then it is probable that the status monitor is logging in as a user without permissions to see that data. To correct this, choose **Disconnect from VPOP3 Server** then **Configure Status Monitor** and check which user it is logging in as. Then edit that user in the VPOP3 settings, go that user's **Permissions** tab and check that the **Remote Status Server Permissions** section contains the desired options. | ||

+ | If the VPOP3 status monitor is unable to connect to VPOP3: | ||

+ | * Check VPOP3 is running - try **Start -> Program Files -> VPOP3 -> Configure VPOP3** to see if that can access the VPOP3 settings. Even if the VPOP3.EXE process is running in Task Manager (or the VPOP3 service is started), VPOP3 may not have started up yet - [[VPOP3 Not Starting Properly|see trouble-shooting tips for that]]. | ||
+ | * Check the VPOP3 Status Service is running. In some versions of VPOP3 this can get disabled if certain problems were encounteed during startup. [[Status Service Disabled|Go here for details on fixing this]]. | ||

+ | =====Time zone issues===== | ||
+ | You may find that the VPOP3 status monitor is double-correcting for the time zone difference. For instance, if your local time zone is UTC+2, then you may find that the status monitor is displaying times as UTC+4. Alternatively, | ||
+ | |||
+ | This happens because you have the incorrect version of the VPOP3 status monitor on your PC. You should use the status monitor software from the VPOP3 installation (usually stored in the main VPOP3 installation directory as VPOP3STATUS.EXE). | ||
+ | |||
+ | The VPOP3 installer will update the status monitor version on the VPOP3 PC itself, but it will not automatically update it if it has been copied to any other PCs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Technical==== | ||
+ | In older versions of VPOP3, VPOP3 itself would correct for the time zone to send times to the status monitor in VPOP3' | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, if you have a current VPOP3, and an old status monitor, then VPOP3 will send the time in UTC, and the status monitor will not correct it. Alternatively, |
