This has absolutely nothing to do with GoLive (unless you count the fact that GL uses the internet) but the depth of experience on this list is so great I'm hoping someone can help. I've posted a request for help to Apple's Mail, iPhone and MobileMe forums but nobody has come up with any ideas yet.

During the past week, my iPhone, which is my only internet connection, has been draining its battery - over and over again. The only unusual activity I've seen has been in Mail, where the spinning "getting mail" icon appears constantly. I've shut down all my browsers, chats, etc. except for Mail. I've of course shut down Mail periodically to recharge the phone. The phone is fine - it recharges quickly as long as Mail is not open.

The final straw was getting a note from Rogers that I've exceeded my 6 GB data total for the month - which started on the 12th. I'm now at 8.4 GBs and have NOT - absolutely NOT - downloaded anywhere near that amount of data. The phone reached 6 GB only slightly over 24 hours ago, so something is obviously drastically wrong.

I'm going broke!! The extra charges are already $100 and rising and I still have over 2 weeks to go before the time resets! Just between the time I originally wrote the above and now, the usage has gone from 8.4 GBs to 8.8 GBs. I've phoned Rogers (my cell provider) and spoken to both customer service and tech support but they say it's not the phone, which is probably correct but what on earth could it be??!!! It's only the tethering data which is going nuts; the regular data usage on the phone, is fine. I definitely haven't been downloading large amounts of data and have in fact now set my Mail to only get e-mail manually and any other internet app has been shut down. Does anyone have ANY ideas at all?
