I guess there may be second-class POP servers and your ISP has got one. There might be something that your ISP can tell you, but usually they've never heard of of our "Online Access" feature. They might understand that UIDL command, however. Does your ISP have web access to mail? (Check their web site.) That would do instead, but I would have thought that if they had web access, you could get there from Online Access. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
