Re: [Evolution] Problems checking mail

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

I'm glad to hear it's better at least, I'll sift through the POP code

message and double-check that the error is used correctly (ie, making
sure that we check errno when errno could possibly get set rather than
checking it when it has no significance).
