Subject: Re: Net::POP3 and Firewall

This code woks on my home PC - i.e. no firewall. Does anyone know what's 
needed for it to run from behind a firewall?
###############
require 'net/pop'


pop = Net::POP3.new('pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', 110, false)
    pop.start('myUserName', 'myPwd')
    if pop.mails.empty?
      puts 'No mail.'
    else
      i = 0
      pop.each_mail do |m|
        File.open("inbox/#{i}", 'w') do |f|

          f.write m.pop
        end


        i += 1
      end
      puts "#{pop.mails.size} mails popped."
    end
    pop.finish

I'd really appreciate any thoughts or comments.

Thanks

Mike
