The ZoneAlarm suggestion is interesting; problems with the personal firewall may well be the problem and I'll find out later today (as you can see I'm posting this with TB! so am on the "wrong" machine :) ML> Could you tell me how you get the detailed POP3 communications ML> log?

For Outlook Express 5.01 select Tools | Options from the menu bar, then press the Maintenance tab and, at the bottom of the tab, there's a 'Troubleshooting' section. Check the 'Mail' check box and, after you've run OE for a bit, search for 'pop3.log' on your hard drive. That contains the information received by OE from the POP3 server. Unfortunately TB! parses the information it received from the POP3 server before displaying it in the Log Panel (Ctrl-Shift-L) :/ (AK-Mail stores the information it receives from the POP3 server in encrypted form and can display it, via an inbuilt viewer, from within itself).
