As you discovered, her POP server is braindamaged (that's a technical term). Luckily, we have a checkbox for braindamaged POP servers which we gave a politically correct name: "Disable support for all POP3 extensions"
You can find this option in the account editor under the "Receiving Options" tab (you have to be running a fairly current 1.4 release tho, 1.4.6 definitely has it and I think 1.4.5 does too, but not sure about earlier versions) Good luck, Jeff On Wed, 2004-04-07 at 09:52, Andre Costa wrote: > Hi folks, first time around.
