[Citadel Support] Re:Remote POP3 retrieval only works on Citadel startup

I am very happy to report that there must have been something wrong with the
previous install.  I am able to get pop access with my new citadel external
mail retrieval on linux, from the original FreeBSD install, that I have been
using for imap access, since the external mail was not functioning
correctly.  I wish that I knew more about citadel and how it works, so that I
may be able to figure out what exactly was wrong.  I may still have a problem
on the BSD install, however, I have not gotten a chance to install, or
reinstall.
