One thing that puzzled me in the thread was this name for a POP3 server,  
because I only knew "mail.*" for a SMTP server until now. Perhaps  
Nettamer has the same opinion on this subject... ;-)

Probably this POP3 server is one of the most used in the internet, now  
that Yahoo wants money for their mail servers. Perhaps the timeout  
settings within Nettamer are too short, so that it will just cancel the  
download process if it doesn't start within a second or so.

But if you can't download your mail on mail.myrealbox.com, you shouldn't  
be able to send anything via smtp.myrealbox.com, or is this possible  
with Nettamer?

By the way, do you use the same ISPs for both Arachne and Nettamer mail  
download? Because if you don't, then the DNS server of the "Nettamer"  
provider might not know mail.myrealbox.com. This happens more often than  
we think... In this case you could fill in the numeric IP of the server  
instead of its real name in Nettamer. I think Neil had already mentioned  
it in this thread.

ZZee ya, Hans-J�rgen
