What did I forget?
I made a block that checks POP3 mail. I've made an entry of $string['pluginname'] = 'POP3' in the language files.
The pluginname is shown under Admin-plugins-blocks-manage blocks.
When I want to add the block to a page it is shown in the dropdown under "add block" as an empty line.
I'm sure I forgot something obvious.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.

Hi,
I have only just started experimenting with blocks, but as I find they are similar to the way themes are made, especially some of the php.
In your pop3/block_pop3.php the first line of the function should read..
function init() {
$this->title = get_string('pluginname', 'block_pop3');
}
This is telling Moodle where to pull the 'pluginname' from your lang/en/block_pop3.php
If this is not showing 'block_pop3' or you have left this empty, then Moodle will try looking in Moodle.com lang files and not find it and so leave it blank.
If you turn on Debugging in Settings > Site Administration > Development > Debugging (select Developer Mode from top menu on that page) you should get some errors if there are any.
Cheers

OMG!
There were two slashes in front of $this->title = ...
I wonder why
Thanks for telling me where to look
