Maybe next time stop renaming the subject/thread so it is easier to follow.. The reason you are getting different responses is simply because the pop server greeting are different. Some software allows you to configure the greeting (I seem to remember reading an SF article once by someone :) who told me to change my SMTP banner to Yo Mama!) Most of the time the reason will be because the second pop server is not exchange or someone has changed the greeting or not configured it properly.
