As you can also see, the POP3 server is functioning properly, and sending the proper responses to all POP3 commands, and is not disconnecting. The error message from Outlook Express claiming that the server disconnected is a blatant lie. > I am not POP3 > guru and I am not sure if newline character is required after the > headers, It is, however it is not the POP3 server's problem that a message is corrupted. A POP3 server's function is limited to producing the contents of a given message, upon request. The server does not parse the message in any way. > I tried to retrieve messages using Thunderbird on FC2, it worked just > fine.

The fact that something may be a popular bit of software does not obligate everyone else to bend themselves over, working around that software's sloppy programming. ===8<===========End of original message text=========== Who's Karolis?
