I have the same problem w/net zero, they send me a setup instruction to use
pop3 and I get the same message-it will send outbound not inbound cannot
receive w/pop 3, and no matter what set of instructions they send me it
doesn't seem to work. I'm at the point of giving net zero the boot, can't
take their customer service which does not address, what seems to be a simple
problem? I get the same exact message.
