Dave,

I've finally found the problem. Somehow, EnRoute keeps some information about
the pop accounts that you have. In my case, when I was selecting "Use
Multi-POP", in internet email settings in InOut, and when I was checking the 2
email accounts there, EnRoute would say something like "Will check 3 of 2 email
accounts", which was obviously wrong. So, after poking around in the system
soup, specifically the EnRouteN1:Netstrategy slot in the first entry of the
system soup, I've found a slot in there called "multiPOPAccounts". This slot is
actually an array of frames. There were 3 elements in the array, so I thought
one was probably bogus. However, it was hard to tell since the elements in the
array were basically frames with what looked like internal pointers, apparently
to the Names soup (where your owner cards are stored).

So, from SBM Utilities, I deleted this "multiPOPAccounts" slot from the
"EnRouteN1:Netstrategy" slot, and went back to the Multi-POP preferences panel.
I clicked "Use Multi-POP", and the 2 email accounts listed. Then, finally,
EnRoute was reporting "Will check 2 of 2 email accounts". Did connect, the
first time, right after the connection, when EnRoute tried to contact the first
POP server, my MP2100 rebooted due to a system error. I've opened InOut again,
went to receive email, and then, it worked beautifully! EnRoute first checked
my first email account, then it checked the second one, downloading messages
from both account without any problem.

Hope this helps!

-Laurent.
