I have a home LAN set up behind a SmoothWall Firewall. Box 1 (192.168.1.3) is a RedHat Linux 8 "Psyche" box with Evolution 1.0.8-10 installed. Box 2 (192.168.1.2) is a Windows XP Pro box with Eudora 5.1 installed. Incoming mail arrives from mail.carbinworld.com (external to LAN) & outgoing is via smtp.erols.com (My ISP)

I have a problem with Evolution receiving mail from my mail.carbinworld.com (POP3) on my Linux box. (outgoing is fine) Here is output captured (on on my Win XP box) via IRIS :

+OK Qpopper (version 4.0.4, modified by Sphera Technologies) ready.
CAPA
-ERR Syntax error.
USER cworld%carbinworld.com
QUIT
QUIT

Here is output from successful mail retrieval on my Win XP box:

+OK Qpopper (version 4.0.4, modified by Sphera Technologies) ready. USER cworld%carbinworld.com +OK Password required for cworld. PASS xxxxxx +OK cworld has 2 visible messages (0 hidden) in 45502 octets. STAT +OK 2 45502 UIDL +OK uidl command accepted. 1 NY8!!Jo$#!'D["!n]p!! 2 pZV!!f6O"!de9!!F;"#! . LIST 1 +OK 1 3154 RETR 1 +OK 3154 octets (snipped)

I use the same exact settings in Eudora (Windows) as in Evolution (Psyche) .... what gives? Any pointers?
