Re: [cobalt-users] checking mail error

["Fragga" <fragga@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i got the same errors with a client whos ISP was up the creek.
The ISP fixed their problem after a few hours and the client could
connect fine so might just be a case of waiting around and seeing
what happens or ask the guy to test it with another ISP.
