Just wanted to let you know that I am experiencing the POP problem right
now (6:30PM 3/3).  I've had the same problem before, but my experience has
been if I give it a couple hours, it will be OK again.
 
The specific problem is that, when I attempt to check mail via Eudora, I
get the status window saying "Contacting miavx1.muohio.edu (134.53.7.10)"
and then it just sits there and waves at me until it decides it's waited
long enough, then I get a "Server not responding" alert.
I can log in to the VAX fine and get my mail that way.
I haven't had any trouble with the VAX being slow, just this Eudora problem
(which I guess amounts to more of an annoyance than a problem).
 
Just thought I would add my two cents.
