5.59 Fixes a freeze up issue if mail retrieval is interrupted. A builtin timer will check the number of bytes received every X seconds (where X = the value indicated in the pop3 timeout multiplied by 2) If this is unchanged when the timer is initiated and pop3 is in either a connected or retrieving message state, the connection will be dropped.
