Hi Steve,

If headers do not show at first then that could be a refresh issue, try
to look at the outbox and then back to the headers to confirm that.
Also have a look at ~/.pskmail/headers to see if they really got
downloaded.

The wrong password thing is the session password problem. Set it and
then use it. With server 1.5 you need to use SETPASSWORD and with 1.5.8
client to 1.6 server you need to upload your email settings (session
password is sent along with it).

I use server 1.6 with client 1.5.8 and thats pretty stable to me :-).
