Program starts okay, SMTP appears to work, but every email retrieval attempt fails with--
POP3 Network or Protocol Error
...
Connection timeout (no response from host)
18:18:21.724: --- 4 Jan 2020, 18:18:21.724 ---
18:18:21.724: Connect to 'mail.xxx.com', timeout 15 seconds.
18:18:37.750: 6: Socket timeout
Did not have this problem 5 minutes earlier, with 4.6 version. Restart has no effect.
It does say "Connection timeout (no response from host)" which I would THINK means the problem isn't on my end--but the timing is just too coincidental. SMTP works; I did send an outgoing msg.
I restarted because PM wouldn't die. I exited, then tried to open with command prompt, several times. No dice. Turns out it was still running as a background process (several, given multiple attempts). Task Manager END TASK shut all but one down. Must have tried to kill that one twenty times. Didn't work, so I restarted.
Now I have this problem.
Any help appreciated!
