Oh!  Interesting.  I always just TELNET to port 110, but I do it enough
(barely) to remember how.

Apropos your mail provider's reliability, please excuse this plug for my
own business: http://www.imap-partners.net/ .  IMAP isn't so easily fooled
as POP by "new" messages, and you can blow away your clients and try new
ones at will.  (And you can TELNET to port 143 -- whee!!! -- but this takes
more practice.)

And if we had an outage that long, we would probably fall on our swords,
after refunding most of your money.
