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... ;-) > P.S.

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.
