I'm using TIdPOP3 with Indy 9.0.17 and BCB5. The connection goes fine on 
my tests, but I expect connection problems when the customers configure 
the server, user name, etc. I would like to add a diagnostic, like 
"Unresolvable host", "Server not responding" or "Password invalid", so I 
read the manual to no avail. I've been reading the source code trying to 
find if the exception generated by Connect() gives this information, but 
I got lost.

Please, tell me if it's possible to get this information somehow.

TIA
Miguel Gimenez
