Hi,

I've just started having problems with TB getting pop3 messages. When I try and get messages I get the following error with no other text or code, just the OK button following the text.

An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk responded:

This happens on all pop3 accounts so I'm assuming it is not a server issue and I can access the email on all the servers.

I copied all of the main files/folders to a new profile and I still get the same problem on this. There are no errors in the error console. When I try to get News & Blogs they all download without any issues.

Could anyone please suggest what I might try to fix this? Is there a way of telling whether TB is actually getting a response from the pop3 servers?

Any help much appreciated.

Many thanks,

DLD

sounds like you might need to log the connection. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging
