Ok. Before you flame, there are a bunch of ways you could blame this on me
or Microsoft.

That's besides the point ;-)

Here's what I did:

1) set up mail account in outlook
2) copied users password from spreadsheet
3) pressed "send-receive"

Got no mail.

The logs indicate a successful pop login and out, with no errors, and mail
messages sitting in "new" are moved to "cur" but NOT DOWNLOADED.

What I found after much head scratching, is that the spreadsheet appends a
newline I think ( or carriage return?) (try it yourself with excel) to the
cell you copy and paste...

Outlook isn't smart enough to trim the password field.

On the other hand, there is no error from courier.

So is it a courier problem in that it doesn't log the error? Or is it the
extra newline that's throwing outlook off?

I have my fix - don't want to be beaten up for my error, just think that if
it is causing the pop3 session to crap out and yet isn't logged, then we
should have an error message in courier for that.

cheers.
