 * Automatic mail processing stopped working from Dec 18th. I can update the posts
   by clicking on “Process Email”. Hence, the link to the email is not the problem.
 * Postie is up-to-date and was not recently updated so that can’t be a problem 
   with a recent update.
 * I have checked and the CRON settings are not a problem:
 * DISABLE_WP_CRON: Off
   ALTERNATE_WP_CRON: OffWP_CRON_LOCK_TIMEOUT: 120
 * What else could be the problem? How can I debug this?
 * Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fautomatic-mail-processing-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Never mind. The plugin started working. I am not sure what went wrong for the
   last three days. It is all good now.
