i might be missing something else, but sometimes windows dosnt update the netbios names of other hosts on the network for a while. at one time i had my mailserver aliased as pop.farragutmarine and smtp.farragutmarine to make it simpler for my family to set up their email with their email client, they would always go, "wait, why the same name in BOTH fields?" so i just added that, but, i took it away and kept it as just farragutmarine, however, when i went into network neighborhood the smtp. and pop. stayed for a week after. try refreshing networkN when your looking at it, also right click on its icon and view the properties. this might be the cause of your problem, but i might also be missing something. as far as i know, to change the name that windows sees is the netbios name in smb.conf, so please post back, also check out the samba website, maybe they have more info about this. anyway, hope i helped!

NAME
Test::POP3 - Automate Email Delivery Tests
SYNOPSIS
use Test::POP3;
my $pop = Test::POP3->new({
host => $host,
user => $user,
pass => $pass,
});
# this will delete all messages from the server
ok($count == $pop->wait_for_email_count($count,$timeout),"got $count");
# find and delete a single email message which matches these rules
# see Test::Email for more information
$pop->ok({
# optional search parameters
to => ($is or qr/is like/),
from => ($is or qr/is like/),
subject => ($is or qr/is like/),
body => ($is or qr/is like/),
headername => ($is or qr/is like/),
}, "got message");
ok($pop->get_email_count() == $count, "$count emails in cache");
# get the Test::Email object
my @email = $pop->get_email();
ok($pop->delete_all() == 2, "deleted 2 messages");
# tweak MIME::Parser settings
my $parser = $pop->get_parser();
DESCRIPTION
Please note that this is ALPHA CODE. As such, the interface is likely to change.
This module can help you to create automated tests of email delivered to a POP3 account.
Messages retrieved from the server but not yet matched by a test will be cached until either that message is the first to pass a test, or
is returned by "$pop3->get_email()". Messages returned are Test::Email objects.
METHODS
"my $pop = Test::POP3->new($href);"
The arguments passed in the href are host, user, and pass.
"my $count = $pop->wait_for_email_count($count, $timeout_seconds?);"
Calling this method will result in all messages being deleted from the server. This will wait up to $timeout seconds for there to be
$count unprocessed messages found on the server. After $count or more messages are found, or after $timeout seconds, the current email
count will be returned. $timeout_seconds defaults to 30.
"my @email = $pop->get_email();"
Get all of the email messages currently in local cache. You should call "$pop3->wait_for_email_count($count)" before calling this
method if you think that there may be messages on the server yet to be retrieved. Calling this method will cause the local cache to be
emptied. Email messages returned will be Test::Email objects.
"my $count = $pop->get_email_count($check_server);"
This will return the number of email messages in the cache. If $check_server is true, then the server will be checked once before the
count is determined. If you would like to wait for messages to arrive on the server, and then be downloaded prior to counting, use
"$pop3->wait_for_email_count()".
"my $ok = $pop->ok($test_href, $description);"
Calling this method will cause the email in the local cache to be tested, according to the contents of $test_href. The first email
which passes all tests will be deleted from the local cache. Since this method only checks the local cache, you will want to call
"$pop3->wait_for_email_count()" before calling this method. "ok" will produce TAP output, identical to "Test::Simple::ok" and
"Test::More::ok".
"my $parser = $pop->get_parser();"
Test::POP3 uses MIME::Parser to process the messages. (MIME is not yet handled by "Test::Email", it will be soon.) Use this method if
you want to manage the parser.
EXPORT
None.
