Retrieving email from my RoadRunner account fails. When I connect to
pop-server.san.rr.com, I will retrieve the first 17 messages. Then nothing. Just
sits there trying to download the remaining messages

Works using Netscape 6, looks like we broke something.

Reporter try downloading a nightly build and creating a new profile and seeing
if that fixes the problem.

What build are you reporting this against.  When you say Netscape 6 works are
you talking about the release build?   Is this broken on one of the nightly builds?

After I recieved you comments. I took a peek at prefs.js, what a mess. I deleted
every thing referring to pop, imap, and smtp servers.  Restarted mozilla and
reconfigured my accounts.  That fixed the problem. So, the next question is how
did the prefs.js file get hosed? 

I had deleted my Netsape 6 profiles when I switched to mozilla nightly builds.
Since then I've downloaded two of the nightly builds. Could this be related to
changing mozilla versions?

Who knows were constantly fixing things so something could have changed between
the two versions. Marking WORKSFORME.
