Anyone know anything about this? I am told I have to use a special port number 143 to access the server instead of the usual 110 but there seems no sense in this.
Any helpful comments appreciated, team!

have you read this here albert?

110 is the standard port for pop3 while 143 is the standard port for imap. Different protocols, different ports. Nothing says you have to use the recommended iana port numbers. So the email server could listen on port 110 for imap but everyone expects it to be listening on port 143.

Thanks peeps - really helpful. I have to set one of these up next week and suddenly realised I have never had to deal with this before. We will see!
cheers
