You shouldn't have to enter your details into account 1 unless you have a second account (1st account is account0). I imagine you tried manually updating Mail Check via the right button since it needs to be triggered initially to start checking and have set the account details correctly for POP3 - normally port 110 and has a different server address than the regular web-based mail.

Just incase compare your ini file with mine below:

[GLOBAL]

check_interval=1800

sound_notify=C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\newemail.wav

account_numbers=1

[MAIL_PROGRAM]

program=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OUTLOOK.EXE

args=/recycle

[sTAR]

top=78

left=73

right=123

font=Arial

size=28

[CAPTIONS]

default=Outlook (No Mail)

one_mail=You have NUMBER new message

more_mails=You have NUMBER new messages

check_string=Checking USERNAME on MAIL_SERVER (CURRENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER/TOTAL_ACCOUNT_NUMBER)

[ACCOUNT 0]

username=yourname

password=yourcode

server=mail.server.com

port=110

-----

Make sure check_interval (seconds) is set to something suitable and account_numbers set to 1.

If it still doesn't work maybe the POP3 server is down or maybe you just don't have any mail today :P

Let me know if your still having problems with it.

Guys, does it work with an IMAP account? That would be great! ;)

Sorry, POP3 only as far as I know :(. If you want to check your hotmail or yahoo accounts you can obtain such programs as Hotmail Popper and YahooPOPs! that allow you to do so via the docklet or other mail client. Maybe there's a similar tool available for your needs.

Hope this helps some-what.
