@nozzer Correct, I am still seeing bouts of failure, but maybe one in four attempts by Mailwasher Pro succeeds, so it is a case of poy-luck as to which of the virtual servers it hits.

Oh dear, looks like it is an intermittent fault and my praises to the PlusNet fix was a little premature!
Back to where I was this morning......frustrating.

I have essentially the same problem, running OE Classic client on a PC and a laptop:
- From around yesterday, on the PC, 8 or 9 out of 10 email download attempts from my Plusnet mailbox have been failing -- then (randomly) it works and the emails come through.
- The error message is "Socket Error #10060 - Connection timed out." It appears after 20 seconds (whether I set the Timeout for the account to 1 min or 2 mins).
- But simultanously my client accesses & downloads emails from another source with never a problem.
- On the laptop, trying to download from a different Plusnet mailbox for an hour resulted in the error message every time.
- On webchat, I was told that as I'm using a 3rd-party client, the problem can't lie with Plusnet: really?

@PeterSoul Did you read the topic from the start - PN were made aware of the problem early yesterday morning, and work to resolve the problem equipment was put in hand.
A temporary 'fix' was also advised.

Actually, I only read the start -- the OP's message. I confess I didn't notice all the follow-ups until after I had posted! Anyway, the problem seems to have been sorted now.

I'm having the same problem - started today. I can send from my email address but not receive (checked this by sending a test message to myself which I picked up using Webmail but has not arrived in my 'normal' inbox). Not really computer-literate so I guess I'll just use Webmail for the time being rather than change any settings, and hope that the POP server starts responding again soon.

I'm having this problem also: An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server mail.plus.net responded:
Running Thunderbird 52.4 on Win7 64bit with free AVG. Tried shutting down AVG email protection and can now get mail again. This seems to have happened only since a recent Thunderbird update, or is that coincidence?

Not for me it hasn't - although Mailwasher Pro is not reporting problems, Thunderbird won't d/l the messages.

I've got intermittent problems here too. Webmail and my Android email app work fine, but using Pegasus email on my desktop and laptop I keep getting the message
11:20:54.061: Connect to 'pop3.vodafoneathome.co.uk', timeout 120 seconds.
11:21:16.093: 15: Peer connect failure
I can send messages, but can't retrieve any.

There is another recent thread opened on this problem at:
https://community.plus.net/t5/Email/Collecting-POP-3-email-not/td-p/1486525.
It seems to be a fairly common problem at the moment.
