We have a lot of outlook clients here and they work as well as can be expected 8-) . Which pop server are you using? I have never seen the "temporary file" error. I sounds like a permission problem. Since it was reported as being in the response from the pop server, I'd check permissions there. I know that some pop servers create a ".pop" file in /var/mail. -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
