I am trying to get mail from my work computer using my charter.net account and get a message that could not connect to server pop.charter.net; the connection was refused. I am using the same setting from my home computer. Any one have help on this issue.

Thank You
Chopper

I can't be sure, but when I was first playing with Portable Apps (2002) I had trouble downloading my mail from Comcast. (Might have been attbroadband, I'm don't recall) It turns out that they blocked access to the e-mail servers to users who were connecting from outside of their network.

Doesn't look good. But maybe you can talk to someone at Charter's tech support desk who can offer an alternate pop server.
