so, if you're using a wireless connection and lose packets, you may check the same POP mailbox again. my observation is from personal experience.

now, the $1200 wireless i use at one of my client sites works all the time:

however, there are foot long Yagi antennae shooting cigar beams that prevent interference. with only 3 users on the other end of the 11 Mbps link, their 10 user enterprise edition of QuickBooks Pro takes users on that side significantly longer to open the company's files.

wired ethernet does not experience the same problem at 100 Mbps.

POP locks occur as a result of only three things: when a user attempts
to check the same POP mailbox from two different locations, or using two
different processes at the same location, or if the POP server exits
very abnormally, leaving a lock file around. It has nothing to do with
what technology they're using to pass the packets back and forth.
