Try this setting;
set pop_host=pop://jerryvb:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Comment out your pop_user and pop_password things, and go from there.
This is what I used till I reset the fetch routine to use fetchmail.
What this does is send your username and password to the domain right
away, rather than waiting to be prompted for it.
If it still doesn't work you may need to change the pop:// part of it to
pops:// depends on if they are using a secure server or not.

Cool. You can spend hours setting mutt up, then weeks tweaking that
setup. I like it.
