forget my last mail, then!
try specifying a longer timeout ('-t' option). your connection
to the pop server might be slow, or you have some large messages.
if you still have problems, use command line:
# telnet popserver 110
user yourlogin
pass yourpass
list
you'l have the list of your messages, and the sizes.
you can see start of the messages, by typing:
top NUMBER LINES
(NUMBER is the number of the message, and LINES is the number
of lines after the headers, so you can se the headers using 0).
if there are very large messages, and if you don't need them, just delete them
del NUMBER
anyway, this will show you if the connection is slow.
