Have you actually tried to collect your email? Have you made sure all the 
settings are correct?

It is very unusual for an ISP to require an SSL connection for collecting 
email. The WorldNet help pages indicate what your server settings should 
be. They also don't directly indicate that you need an SSL connection to 
check your email. They do mention you need an SSL connection if not on 
their dialup for other things, but all they say about email is that you 
need a POP/SMTP client (and I checked a bunch of different links, not one 
ever tells you that you need SSL for the email).

It is possible that the tech rep you spoke to was mistaken about what 
does and does not need SSL.
