There have been extensive discussions in demon.service, as well as postings
to demon.announce. The POP3 servers suddenly because overloaded for some
still unknown reason. The number of simultaneous users has been limited,
meaning that it is often difficult to get a connection, but by trying at a
quiet time it is still possible to receive email by POP3. For many users a
better solution is to switch to using SMTP for mail collection, as SMTP
mail delivery has ben working fine throughout.
