| POP3 on Vista |

Hi experts,
I just got a new machine, pre-installed with Vista, and I experience a
strange behaviour with Opera 9.26 (freshly installed)
I have copied my whole 'mail' catalog from the old XP machine, and it
seems like my whole mail database is working fine.
I have 2 different mail accounts (POP3) that I am polling, but on the
Vista machine it seems like that connections to the POP hosts is never
finished properly - if I look at the small connection status window, the
accounts keeps saying 'Checking folder' for several minutes (I guess it is
timing out eventually). If the poll resulted in getting a new message, the
status is 'Fetching message' for several minutes after the message arrived.
It may sound like a small problem, but it also affects how my messages are
send - they can stay in outbox for a very long time.
The XP machine standing right besides the Vista does not do this, here the
accounts goes to 'Ready to connect' immediately after polling
I have tried disabling the Windows firewall and the virus check, to no
effect.
I have also tried the TCp windows scaling hack mentioned in
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Resolve-Outlook-2007-and-POP3-Performance-Issues-
52153.shtml,
but it also had no effect.
Anybody else seen this problem, and knows what to do with it?

Not that I know of, but also, very few people I know are using vista.
I'd start by turning on the mail logging, as per
http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/mail/troubleshoot/
If you capture a log that shows the problem, post it here, but be sure
to edit out the password, first.

OK, thanks for that pointer, I have now tried to make such a logfile.

I tried without enabling interval poll, and the accounts did not time out
in the 11 minutes I waited.

Then I waited 11 minutes and terminated Opera, but no more lines were
added after the initial poll. The account status was 'checking folder' and
the icon for 'Check/Send' was a red cross during the whole time.
The log files for the other POP account is very much like this one, so it
is not posted here.
I hope there are somebody out there that can explain why the connection
does not seem to be terminated
Netstat says:
TCP 192.168.0.100:63109 user2.cybercity.dk:pop3 CLOSE_WAIT
..all the time
Hope somebody can help me...

From my testing, after opera received the "." indicating the end of
the
list, it should have shown
