Do you have anti-virus software that scans e-mail? It could be borking things up for your e-mail client.

I hoped that was it, but disabling the AVG e-mail scanner and the McAfee Firewall and real-time protection didn't have any effect.
I removed the account and added it again, and it's downloading the inbox again. This time, I moved the largest files out of the inbox temporarily to keep it from hanging, so let's see if it gets all synced up this time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It seems I need a new modem. Suggestions?
Actually, the old modem just needs the power switch replaced. Is that something a Best Buy or other shop could/would do?

Modem? Like for dial-up?

Godfuckingdammit. It managed to download the entire inbox and THEN get the error, so now it won't actually, you know, download new e-mail. I don't know what is going on. I was so close. So close.

Ahh, sorry, I've only ever used a cable modem that was supplied by the provider.
Unrelated, I'm looking for a small boombox or micro-stereo for the nursery(!). Something that'll play CDs as well as as iPod hookup would be nice. For the iPod, an aux input is fine; I don't need a proper dock. Any suggestions?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
For the kids' room we just have an old pair of computer speakers and plug the iPod into the headphone jack. Lo-tech, but it works.

Oooh, I think I do have some old speakers in the attic. Thanks, Jessica!

I feel so geeky and up-to-the-minute: I ordered my iPhone 4s last night, and Pete is on the phone with the (very nice!) AT&T person ordering his and changing my plan to a family plan.
This means Pete will start texting. And possibly stop complaining about people texting instead of calling.
