Mail not getting thru

[Paul Franklin]

The message went from my yahoo account to the offsite mail server to the 
fetchmail on the same box as Kolab runs.  But it didn't show up in my 
Kolab mail account until all of the messages suddenly arrived.  I'm 
confident they were all in some kind of stasis on the Kolab box between 
fetchmail and Kolab.
