Hi again,

I made the same implementation of a PopConnection class (calling the 
respective functions of poplib) and got the the same UnpickeableError .. 

Looking into the log file of my mail server I can see that I did connect and 
it did log me in ... 
But it closes the connection with this message:
Command stream end of file while reading line user=gitte_wange.dk 
host=213.237.101.66.adsl.kh.worldonline.dk [213.237.101.66]

Why ?

TIA,
