    Well, has this connection worked before?  If it has, it's usually
what I get when I lose the net- is it possible that the line's dropping?

    Can you use IMAP?  It's a lot nicer if you have a lot of messages;
it gets the headers when you check the mail, and the bodies only when
you read them- less to transfer.  There's also IMAPS for secure
communications.  Evolution can deal with both- see if your ISP can, too.
