> Ok, what kind of problems? > > Mike Here is the Problem I've got while trying to download my email with Outlook Express : "There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'Users', Server: 'mail.xxxxx.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [SYS/PERM] Unable to process From lines (envelopes) in /var/spool/mail/xxxxx03; change recognition mode or check for corrupted mail drop.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92" But that problem didn't come (username and password is correct) if I'm using Webmail. Setting on my outlook Express is default, no others changes I made. Thank's.

No guarantees but it worked for me.
