In case anybody has been hanging off the edge of his/her chair, waiting to find out if I ever resolved the problem of not being able to get POP access from my employer's new email server, the solution was simple: I called the vice-president of my department and told her that I get to work less often now that I can't access the company's mail system when I'm out of the office. The guys in the I.T. department (both of them) told her that the problem was the fact that I use a Mac, but 24 hours later they somehow managed to enable POP access for me.
Thanks for the many ideas that arose from my question to this list. After I proved, via your assistance, that the problem was not on my end, those Windows guys at the home office had no choice but to fix THEIR problem. :-) ---Jay
