Hi Samuel, A log of a client pop session might be helpful. Start Outlook Express and go into Tools then Options and Click on the Maintenance tab. Check the box at the bottom that says Mail. Click OK and then exit Outlook Express and then open Outlook Express again and then try getting the mail again several times. Then search your system for the pop3.log file (usually in Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook Express) and open it in notepad. Copy some of the attempts to pop the mail and paste it into an e-mail back to the list so that we can see what is going on.
You might have to wait a few minutes for the file to get created, but you can force it by trying to pop several times so that it has to flush the buffers to the log file. Bill ps. don't forget to turn off the mail logging when you are done or the file will get very LARGE! :) pps. there is also an smtp.log file if someone is having problems with sending mail. >---------- >From: Samuel E.
