The POP service on MiaVX1 was down from about 7:00pm Sunday night until
about 7:15am this morning.  POP is the protocol Eudora uses to retreive
your email.  I'll be contact Innosoft Corporation (the authors of the
software) this morning to try to find a solution to the problem.

MailFwd.muohio.edu is used for sending mail, not retrieving it.  Also,
MailFwd.muohio.edu is a system that most people don't have an account on.
That's why you couldn't log into it.
