Hi Fred,
I have been looking into the source of the POP3Client module, and it looks like
the pop server closes the socket. This is normally an autentication problem
(USER/PASS not recognized).
Does this combination work with a normal mail client (e.g. evolution)?
You can do a check with:
telnet pophost 110
(+OK)
USER user
(+OK)
PASS his_password
(+OK, Authenticated)
LIST
(l xxxx
2 xxx etc., nr + length...)
QUIT
If that does not work, check the userid and password again.
If you still have problems I will need the account password to test it
(send to my local account (rein at couperus.com), not to the list :).
But from here it looks like the pop server does work OK with port 110.
73,
