That explains all.

No  way  in  this  case.  You  have to wait those 10 minutes. No other
solution possible.

There  are no cancel buttons at server. There is command QUIT which it
waits for.

The  responce  of  server means that it has not receive a QUIT command
while  in previous session. Session at POP server is keeped open since
last  entered  command  for  timeout  period  which is set by your POP
provider most frequent, based on my experience is 10 minutes.

First, you have to check how did the previous session finished and why.

Possible as all my passwords were changed a few weeks ago and unlikely
anyone locally except me would know what they are..

Possible but if it happened here first thing I would do is change
passwords and see if it still happens...
Anything is possible with Thais running computers
One good reason we are always busy (g).

Maybe APOP is screwing you up?  Try turning that off and see if it
helps (with the added "bonus" of having your password sent
plain-text).

offcourse... Thats why I checked all my accounts and found out I
couldnt log into my usa.net account as password had been changed and
routing of the mail as well switched to a mail.com account.
But Thai isps are so badly setup one has more chances of
finding a bug in their systems.
I remember when the whole of Loxinfo was banned on irc undernet and I
asked them to sort it out, the isp asked me whats irc

Anyone getting locked out of a pop server as its in use should
consider doing  that  unless the server malfunctions it means
exactly what it says, you mailbox is in use, either by yourself with a
second account or by an unauthised reader. Which also may mean a
password change of the login could save money...

It  can be if you DUN session was aborted unexpectedly while connected
to  POP  server.  If so ask your POP provider about timeout set at POP
server.
