Does the satellite software place it on localhost, accessible at port 110? Does TB connect to localhost:110? Like you, I think there is something in between, and since you have answered my first question, we need to identify what is in between. Morpheus said that he is not an IT expert, so my suggestion for the next step is that we now look at port numbers.

If he can see the body in the .msg file, this should be imported into TB and he can see it when hitting F9. This is not the case.

There can still be an anti-virus/spam software in between. Some of them are transparent, so he would still connect to port 110, but let's wait for his reply before going down that road. -- Cheers, Thomas.
