NIN, who accepted the post, lost track of it.  I now see I managed to
break the References: field, which may explain the failure.  I'll try
again!]

Nothing seems to have changed.  Are you remembering to send the

  user administrator@yourhost.dcu

and

  pass yourpassword

commands first, to ensure the server knows what mailbox you want to
list?  If I telnet in and just send "list", I get "-ERR Command is not
valid in this state"; but if I send the "user" and "pass" commands first
to authenticate myself, it works fine.

I've just seen your post, after resending the original

As far as I know, I typed in everything correctly several times. I'll try
again just to make sure.
