Support are saying that the cause is multiple attempts to log on to my email accounts from the same IP address.

The POP3 protocol specifies that an exclusive lock must be actioned on the mailbox - this means only a single POP3 connection should be allowed.

It is advisable that you use IMAP for any mobile devices and use POP3 on your main computer for downloading a copy of your mails for backup/offline usage.

I will try that suggestion, thanks. Better than having to switch it off! I think I've solved the self-switch-on problem too
