Hi,

  In mail "Newbie question re: 'net'"
    "dhtapp" <dhtapp@cox.net> wrote:

This script works for me:

  require 'net/pop'

  host = 'pop.west.cox.net'
  port = 110
  user = 'dhtapp'
  pass = 'Your Password'

  pop = Net::POP3.new(host, port)
  pop.start(user, pass) {
    puts "# of mails: #{pop.mails.size}"
    pop.each_mail do |mail|
      puts mail.header
    end
  }

Yes, your first error is caused by calling I/O method after closing
POP3 connection.  I can't detect the reason of your second error.
