Have you tried accessing via webmail ????
Also if you have a firewall then try turning it off.
Have you tried to telnet it as they may be an offending mail blocking your download etc.
To telnet it try the following -
To telnet the mail server:
Start>Run
"telnet pop.ntlworld.com 110"
+OK InterMail POP3 server ready.
(type) user user.name
+OK please send PASS command
(type) pass password
+OK user.name is welcome here
this logs you into the pop server.
Try that and report back.

Hi,
I have no firewall, and i tried telnet and it seemed to log me in correctly. Don;t know if i was supposed to do something after that though. webmail works ok (although it's very slow).
I deleted all the spam type messages with webmail, and still nothing. just the same as above. It says it is receiving: message 1 of 20 and just sits there doing nothing. I know it's not downloading anything cos i can check my dialup status.
I am using Mozilla as my mail program btw.
thanks
Rob
