First of all, do not configure your mail in root. Each user has their own
separate mail settings. NEVER USE ROOT UNLESS YOU ARE DOING ADMINISTRATIVE
TASKS!!! Did you enter the pop host correctly. It may be pop."ISP mail
server".com/net. If all else fails call your ISP for the correct settings,
they can provide them for you.
