Well,

after all your very good advice, I thought I'd have a shot at a POP3
client. Thing is I never get a chance at any negotiation with the server
as the password phase never seems to get any further. In addition I've
also run a similar set of tests using turnpike to retreive email via
POP3 - this also seems to fail to get the email.

I've just run a test of a POP3 client on pop3.demon.co.uk.
Prior to this I've sent a message to myself (not using turnpike so that
turnpike can't shortcut it and avoid sending it). I know this email
sending program (which is not Turnpike) works, since if I turn SMTP
receive email on in Turnpike, my email gets delivered.

Here's the login transcript (I haven't added or removed any 
characters):-

Connecting to pop3.demon.co.uk...
Sent: USER objmedia
Received: +OK demon POP3 server ready
Sent: PASS <mypassword>

...and thats it, I never get a reply. My password is correct. I'm
connecting as usual (Win 95 DUN). Can anyone shed any light on this. I
can't use the Turnpike winsock as the Java runtime can't set the
connection if that one is used. If I use the standard windows winsock,
the java runtime can see the connection (indeed! where is that
documented - nowhere).

I've had a look at the SDPS URL on demon and the tech spec and the RFC
and it looks OK. I've thought of setting the 'second' password for POP3,
but surely that isn't required since I'm using my usual machine to
connect.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Cheers
