FetchMail will only timeout if you configure the appropriate JavaMail properties. By default the timeout values are infinite! Try setting 'mail.pop3.connectiontimeout' and 'mail.pop3.timeout' properties to something reasonable, like 3 minutes. See http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/com/sun/mail/pop3/package-sum mary.html for how to do this. If you still have problems, please let me know. For information on how setting JavaMail properties will be getting easier, read http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED] .org&msgNo=9891. -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
