I don't think that's the problem. I tried telneting to pop3.ispwest.com 110 and entering that invalid username: $ telnet pop3.ispwest.com 110 Trying 216.52.245.18... Connected to pop3.ispwest.com. Escape character is '^]'. +OK VopMail POP3 Server 5.2.203.0 Ready <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> USER [EMAIL PROTECTED]@pop3.ispwest.com +OK [EMAIL PROTECTED]@pop3.ispwest.com is welcome here Doing that does not cause the "USER: unknown or invalid command in this state" error message. I'm guessing that 'mutt' is entering some extraneous commands before giving the "USER" command. Look at this: $ telnet pop3.ispwest.com 110 Trying 216.52.245.18... Connected to pop3.ispwest.com. Escape character is '^]'. +OK VopMail POP3 Server 5.2.203.0 Ready <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> USER jerryvb +OK jerryvb is welcome here USER jerryvb -ERR unknown or invalid command in this state [USER] That tells me that the "unknown or invalid command in this state" error message happens when mutt enters the "USER" command when the server is not expecting it.
