Well, has this connection worked before? If it has, it's usually
what I get when I lose the net- is it possible that the line's dropping?
Can you use IMAP? It's a lot nicer if you have a lot of messages;
it gets the headers when you check the mail, and the bodies only when
you read them- less to transfer. There's also IMAPS for secure
communications. Evolution can deal with both- see if your ISP can, too.
