I don't know of your answer, however, you could try setting up fetchmail to
get your mail and put it in a local user mailbox and set your own box to
serve pop3 for your client.. I have done that before sucessfully.

it seems most likely that your isp as changed something?  what are you using
to check your mail? kmail, evolution, netscape mail, do they all not work?

Subject: [expert] POP3 fails suddenly under Linux (Mandrake 8.1)


Hi,

This is probably the wrong forum, but I'm out of ideas...

Setup: Dual boot machine connected to Internet via Alcatel ADSL modem, pptp
under Linux (Mandrake 8.1), or win2k.

For browsing and sending e-mail, both OS's are fine.

For the last few days, however, I am unable to retreive e-mail via POP3 on
Linux, while win2k works fine.

Tcpdump shows that the "RETR 1" command is accepted by the pop  server,
which replies "+OK" and stops. (I don't have a sniffer for win2k.)

This used to work fine under Linux, and I have changed nothing in my
configuration. Before I get totally paranoid here, I'd appreciate any ideas,
hints or clues. Booting win2k to read mail is a bummer!

        Thanks,

                Rony
