Hi Frank,
Yes, I'm using POP and no, the previous session did not download them, indeed they are still there and they will be there until I manage to read them via Outlook. I can't carry on with the installation of other application until I solve this issue.
Unfortunately IMAP is not an option for this project.

If I login into the account and check the mail with the alpine (ex pine) client, I see that there are 10 mails.
From the Log I guess you're using POP, right?
When I "telnet localhost pop3" and login into the account, the "list" command says there are 0 mails.
I guess the previous POP session downloaded them.
You may want to switch to IMAP.
$SEARCHENGINE may help you to learn about the difference between POP and IMAP.
