[Users] ODP - Re: onet.pl pop3 STAT fails on Windows

[theofilos at interia.pl]

I tried under Windows too. It is the same like under Linux.
>From Linux command line and from Windows command line is OK.
I disabled antivirus and is still wrong in Claws-Mail.
I replaced pop3.poczta.onet.pl to 213.180.147.145 and there is the same error.

>From Wondows
-------------
a)
>From Windows:
nslookup pop3.poczta.onet.pl
Serwer:  oreius.sferia.net
Address:  193.41.112.14

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   pop3.poczta.onet.pl
Address:  213.180.147.145

b)
ping pop3.poczta.onet.pl
the requests go to 213.180.147.145

c)
telnet pop3.poczta.onet.pl 110
+OK Onet server ready.
USER m3bydg at onet.pl
+OK
PASS **********
+OK Logged in.
STAT
+OK 20 6475
quit
+OK Logging out.
