Hi All,

I am glad to contribute this fix back. I hope someone finds it useful.
I think it might be kubuntu specific.

http://www.kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-users/2006-February/004394.html
mv /dev/random /dev/random.backup
ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random

Can't believe that fixed it. I don't quite understand but at least its 
working.

Now POP doesn't time out randomly etc.
