Easy solution - use another POP/SMTP provider.  Even though I don't use
@Home (Road Runner), I use Yahoo! and a few other free POP accounts
(mailandnews.com) that work flawlessly every time I pop into them or send
mail out via SMTP to them.

Friends of mine who have @Home hate the Email service also, and most have
gone the route I have.  Broadband into Yahoo! mail for instance - works
great.

Just an idea.
