Well, just for the fun of it, here is the log file as well.
It is very brief, popping the account is stalled, while showing
"contacting server" in the status bar.

Done, bug 328619
I also sent the log files both from 9.27 (which succeeds to pop) and from
9.5 build 4808.

Thank you. Your server is violating RFC 2449 (section 5), which
describes the CAPA response:

An +OK response is followed by a list of capabilities, one
per line. Each capability name MAY be followed by a single
space and a space-separated list of parameters. Each
capability line is limited to 512 octets (including the
CRLF). The capability list is terminated by a line
containing a termination octet (".") and a CRLF pair.

Your server outputs:

22:53:36 POP OUT: CAPA

22:53:36 POP IN: +OK Capability list follows, mate

22:53:36 POP IN: TOP USER PIPELINING UIDL POP3S
.

Each of the capabilities should be on a separate line. Your server's
implementation makes it impossible for capabilities to have
parameters. Please contact your mail server provider to notify them
about this problem.

But... Opera 9.27 simply handles the reply, and successfully pops the

I agree that the pop server should stick to the rules, but if Opera
handled this before, then why stop doing that?
Below a part of the log of v9.27, same spec violation (of course) by the
pop server, but Opera doesn't seem to care.

Because we rewrote the POP back-end based on the RFC.

We've implemented a work-around for your server.

Ah that's great. Thanks to you all :)
I have not gotten any reply from the provider yet, other than that my
email was forwarded to the proper department. Right!
