There are numerous issues surrounding email as more and more spam clogs the servers. Many call for help and it's just some ISP email server in overload.
But a few home things to do.
-> Do you run the Popfile UI and delete it's "cache?" It's "Remove All" button must be hit from time to time to keep it's database cleaned up.
My ISP email servers "glitch" or go offline from time to time. I know to just try later. In one case they took a week to recover.

A few months ago, someone on this list suggested the anti-spam program POPfile, which I installed and have used quite happily until just now. I'm using OE 6 as my mail client, and POPfile requires slightly different "properties" settings than my server does, and suddenly, I'm having trouble contacting the server and downloading e-mail. Any reason why this should happen out of the blue? Server isn't much help because they'd just as soon sell me their own anti-spam services.
Thanks.
