I meant "port 1110" here, of course.
(Hehe... When I did a web search for "KPOP and 1110" to see how standard
that port assignment was, I found some California radio station named
'KPOP'. It's not, unfortunately, on 1110 AM.)

And it *still* doesn't matter, except to point out an interesting fact
about KPOP, which is that it encrypts *only* the password. The rest of
the traffic, including the email you download, goes in the clear. That's
why it's inferior (from a security standpoint) to ktelnet or IMAP-over-
SSL.
