Thanks for the infos, I have done what you said, but I don't know a lot of pop3 protocols, so...
Nevertheless, it seems that the following command seems to block my client:
<-POP +Ok
With OE I have no pb, here part of log for both clients:
MMM3:
08/26/04 09:53:27: --POP ReadFromPop ...
08/26/04 09:53:27: <-POP +OK
08/26/04 09:53:27: --XXX testing second-side connection
08/26/04 09:53:27: --XXX sleep
....
08/26/04 09:53:27: --POP Finishing connection handler
OE:
08/26/04 09:54:00: --POP ReadFromPop ...
08/26/04 09:54:00: <-POP +OK maildrop ready, 0 messages (0 octets) (433059 104857600)

08/26/04 09:54:00: ->POP QUIT
08/26/04 09:54:00: --POP Before ReadFromPop
08/26/04 09:54:01: --XXX sleep

08/26/04 09:54:01: --POP ReadFromPop ...
08/26/04 09:54:01: <-POP +OK server signing off.
08/26/04 09:54:01: --POP Finishing connection handler
don't know if you can do something with it... Even if this is a client problem, could you explain why to me? (as the client is opensource, i'll read a little about pop3 specs, and will try to achieve making it work with avast).
