[AccessD] CDOSYS

I don't remember using any POP3 in code,
it is a different protocol than SMTP.
Perhaps you could repost the code.

One big problem is recent ISP security restrictions.
 Some cable ISP's will not allow an IP from outside their
domain to access a POP3 server,
POP3 access wont work at all with DSL or dial-up connections.
Some ISP's don't allow any connection at all.

To check yours, you can try to access POP3 via Telnet
Try it on rarely used Email account.

You could try this to get into POP3 port 110
 but it may take 10 minutes to activate.

telnet shawmail.vc.shawcable.net 110

Then use valid commands eg.  'user',
'pass', 'list', 'top', & 'quit and maybe "RETR"

Here are some old samples of VB code
to get at POP3. Pretty basic and they might not
handle file attachments etc. They generally all
use Win Sockets.
