Greetings: I too used FetchPop a very long time and was extremely happy with it until a similar thing happened when I changed ISP's.. I, and the ISP, couldn't solve the problem so I tried fetchmail, which worked OK but I didn't like it, and getmail, which solved all the problems and is our only mailer now.. Getmail requires python installed and has a _very_ active list server group, including the author.. Sorry I can't offer a fix as fetchpop was really great, IMHO...
