  I had the same thing with bezeqint on ISDN.
  Everything went well until they installed a POP proxy (MiraPoint). I 
  know that Internet Gold uses the same equipment and have the same problems 
  with few of their customers.
  
  Fortunately, I have overcome this issue and can advise you to do one 
  of the following:
  1. Call inetgold and ask their support personell to tell you the IP 
  address of the exact mail server you need to connect to.
  2. Play with your MTU/MRU settings - after a while bezeqint blocked 
  direct access to the POP servers by forwarding them to the proxy using 
  their firewalls, and changing my MTU to 1152 (or was it 716?) did the 
  trick. Your MTU is probably 1500 or 1499 if you didn't change it, so you 
  can have a go with this.

  Hi!Finally i got this holiday to configure my ADSL on 
  an old pc with two network adapters, and configured the 
  ip-masq.Everything seemed to work fine, until I tried to recieve 
  mail.What happens is that when i try to get my messages from the win2k 
  masq-client (using netscape) it connects to the pop3 server and learn 
  that I have X messages, but it can't download them.I tried to 
  telnet to "in.zahav.net.il" port 110 and discovered how to login and 
  then type "list". which showed me how many messages i have which was 
  the same as the client showed.I tried to send mail (SMTP) and it 
  worked no problem.any1 has idea?please reply to this address,

as always when it has to do with adsl and the connection works in a non
deterministic fashion (you can LIST messages but you can't receive
them), check the MTU on eth0, ppp0 and the masqueraded clients. This is
explained in the HOWTO, and the correct values are given.

 I tried to send mail (SMTP) and it worked no problem.

hmmm, this does not fit the pattern as i remember it. first of all,
check the MTU as outlined above. if you check and the MTU is absolutely
correct, it's time to sit with a packet sniffer on the wire and discover
where exactly the connection goes awry.

meaning? it gets stuck? it gives an error message? it waits 10 minutes and
then gives a 'connection timed out' error?

did this download work befoer you have set up firewalling rules? if not,
disable all of them, and then test again. if then it works - send your
firewalling rules over for inspection.

 I tried to telnet to in.zahav.net.il port 110 and discovered how to
 login and then type list. which showed me how many messages i have
 which was the same as the client showed.

did you also try to actually view a mail message via this POP connection?
