Unfortunately pop3 does not really like it very much when you keep a connection open and read through your mail - It tended to timeout for me. Maybe a better solution would be to use fetchmail to get the messages from your pop server, and deliver them to your local account (on your machine) through your normal mail agent. Hope this helps, Ivan Fetch.
