Try going to Start | Run and enter "telnet pop.server 110" (replace pop.server
with your POP server address). If you see a message like "+OK Server ready" then
the POP server is working; if, however, you get a connection timeout, then the
issue lies with your system's networking configuration and not with Mozilla.

Or somehow a SOCKS host was filled in as proxy (Preferences/Advanced/Proxies).
Take it out unless you really have a SOCKS proxy.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
