I never lose my internet connection. When I go to mail domain host, and try 
webmail, I see that there are emails there, yet my debian box gives me this 
error and doesn't get my emails.
I understand webmail and pop3 are different services, I cannot answer about 
the server.. it does reply, as I can get webmail.
do I need to try to telnet to it?
