Seems like more and more people are using VSoup, thus more problems...

You are sure, about the pop3-name!? I am a little bit curious,
because normally (it's not more than a convention) POP3 server names
are starting with something like 'pop...'

:
Yes, they are defined elsewhere! If you are using a dialer, which
setups the 'Internet Connection for OS/2' settings, VSoup will use
those settings, if you don't define something else ('-i' option
ignores the settings). Anyway, command line options will override the
internet settings...
Default question: Have you already checked the version of your
emx-DLLs (emxrev)?
