John,

Sorry it's a while since I used the POP version of NOS so I can't quite
remember what the commands are - but if you have the STARTUP.NOS file
it should be fairly obvious what I mean (I hope!) Though it might be in
dial.txt.... 
...

There is a command *something* along the lines of "mailhost" in the start up
script. That is the problem! (It's the command where you state the host
address of your mailbox).

When NOS encounters that it tries to connect to the POP mailbox immediately

Unfortunately at that point NOS hasn't dialed yet - so the whole thing
just sits there...

The solution is to assign the "mailhost" command to a function key and
then comment it out from the script. That way NOS should connect properly
and once it's finished connecting - hit the function key to retrieve
your mail!

:) Sorry I'm so vague about that but I don't have the program or files
on my machine now. It should make sense to anyone who's tried setting
it up recently though! If it doesn't, email me and I'll dig out the
files so I can be a little less vague!
