This connection problem with POP3 does not appear to be on your client end. I get the same error when trying from here: [ryan@vanessa]:[~]$ telnet mail.carbinworld.com pop3 Trying 66.84.10.254... Connected to mail.carbinworld.com. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Qpopper (version 4.0.4, modified by Sphera Technologies) ready. USER steve -ERR Syntax error. Connection closed by foreign host. You need to find out why the POP3 server "Qpopper" won't accept the USER command as it should. -Ryan -- Powered by Red Hat Linux 8.0
