Jag's Mail.app "can't get" mail on port 110

[David Deckert]

Almost done getting the Beige Demon in order. Did all my setup while on 
the LAN for testing and some file transfers and now I'm trying to get 
the modem in gear. Then, I disabled Ethernet (unchecked Ethernet to 
ensure it would look to the modem for Internet access).

I've chosen "Apple 56k v90" for the built-in modem. That sound right? 
Connects at like 42k, but then again I don't really trust my house to 
have full 56k transfer over modem.

Now, the question:
Mail correctly automatically makes Internet Connect dial out but 
doesn't wait for the modem. When choosing to receive mail it 
immediately throws up "can't get mail on port 110, check if you did 
something wrong, loser..." but it also starts dialing right away 
anyway. After the modem connects I can manually get mail. Why won't 
Mail wait until the modem connects?

This is the first time I've used a modem w/ Jaguar. I used a modem 
w/10.1 w/o any problems (on another Mac). I also notice that clicking 
on the Sharing pane dials out automatically and if you "disconnect" the 
modem keeps dialing again unless you quit System Preferences. This bug 
alone (and the more annoying Mail issue above) may force me to turn off 
automatic dialing. Anybody got a fix?
