[SC-Help] Re: Connecting to earthlink's popmail server

[George Langford,Sc.D.]

I originally inquired as to how SpamCop's might retrieve emails from my
earthlink.net email account:

To which Mike Easter answered:

That's my experience, too. That's how it's been set for my attempts to pop
mail from the earthlink server from my SpamCop account.

Additionally, Mike said:

I'm baffled; where do I put that port number? 
What about: pop.earthlink.net:110 ?  Nope; that's not it ...
