Mail_fetch

[Carl R. <CA...@ne...>]

I have a pop server running at home, and nine times out of ten it will
refuse access, "login failed:" with no pop3 error.

The other time it will access OK, and allow login, then either fetch my
mails if there are any, or tell there aren't any mails if my mailnbox is
empty.

Using Fetch_mail 0.3.

Any suggestions as to what might be at fault here.

I also set up an account with www.hotpop.com to see if it was a problem with
my own POP server(Icewarp Merak Mailer, on Windows 2000)
this account uses <username>@<chosendomainfromlist>  format for the
account/address, so I selected sk...@pu...

setup pop.punkass.com as server
setup skraggy as username
setup<mypass> as password, and again I'm getting login "failed:" everytime.
