At the same time they changed the port number they also discontinued use 
of mail.mindspring.com, for the pop server, (that may be back, they're 
not very consistent about keeping changes once made), which could be 
used instead of pop.mindspring.com. Guess which one I was using. (Their 
techs hadn't a clue that the first address had ever been valid).
