Haven't gotten to mac yet

After using Stop to interrupt the downloading of new POP messages, I can't get
new messages again within the mail session.

1.  Launch a POP account profile.
    (my profiles had leave messages on server enabled, don't know yet if this
would make a difference)
    (my prpofiles did not use remember password or master password for single
signon).
2.  Select Inbox.
3.  From another machine/user, send quite a few messages (I did about 10-15).
4.  Click  Get Msg on the 5.0 pop account, provide proper password.
    Click Stop during the new message download before all headers are
downloaded.
5.  Click Get Msg again. Nothing happens, no new message headers are retrieved
although there are indeed some to get.  No new status text present on the status
bar.
6.  Switch to another folder and back to inbox. Click Get Msg again.  Nothing
happens.  
7.  Exit and return, select pop inbox.  Note the inbox is in the same state.
8.  Get msg again and now the remaining messages are downloaded.

Actual result:  Get message won't retrieve new messages if Stopped during
initial header download for the mail session.  Must exit and return to be able
to resume retrieving new messages.

Expected result:  Get message should work again after Stop.

Note:  I didn't see this using IMAP (although I haven't tried numerous times).

May be related to Jeff's work on bug 26770.
On Linux build 2000.02.14.09, I don't have this problem (I do have the one filed
as bug 26770).  I also don't seem to have it when I turn Single Signon off.

I haven't tried testing this yet, but I'll try to get to it today.

this is failing because the pop server is considered "busy" - I don't know this 
code, but somehow I need to clear this "busy" flag when stop is pressed. This 
would be easier if my OnCancel method was actually getting called, but it 
doesn't.
